Prenatal massage,
birth preparation massage and beyond
Prenatal massage is an incredible complement and support during this profound, and often overwhelming time of transition physically and mentally during the prenatal period. It enhances the function of muscles and joints, improves circulation and relieves mental and physical fatigue. The gentle, non-invasive approach of prenatal massage can ease discomfort associated with pregnancy, help you prepare for labour and give you nurturing emotional support.
Some common pregnancy-related complaints that can be alleviated by massage are:
Reduced stress and increased relaxation
Relief of muscular tension and spasms — in particular in the hips, legs, back and neck
Reduction of stress on weight-bearing joints
Assistance in pain relief for any sciatic pain that may arise during pregnancy
Reduced swelling in hands and feet
May reduce the frequency and duration of headaches, backache, and muscle strain
Improved energy levels and reduced fatigue
Maintenance/awareness of good posture
Sore feet
Round ligament pain
Peripheral neuropathies (thoracic outlet syndrome, carpal tunnel, sciatica)
And more
We also collaborate with the clinic’s pelvic physiotherapists on an ongoing basis.
You are not alone!
Postpartum massage therapy
The postpartum period is typically thought of as the period that immediately follows birth. In the first six weeks there are many adjustments including physical, emotional and psychological, and can all be aided by massage therapy.
Postpartum massage is safe as soon after birth as Mom feels comfortable to come in for treatment, and can benefit you whether you have had a vaginal or cesarean birth. You are welcome to inquire about bringing your baby to your session o ensure you get your self-care time in or book back-to-back sessions for both of you. Please inquire when booking.
Breast massage
therapy
Breast health is too often ignored until after a problem arises. It’s an area of the body with powerful associations that sometimes make women hesitant to seek care, despite the fact that the vast majority of them experience breast discomfort at some point. Whether it’s breast congestion, discomforts from lactation and breastfeeding, abnormalities such as lumps or cysts, or surgical procedures, any breast problem can create heightened anxiety and stress that can diminish overall health. Receiving breast massage can be a wonderful way to support healthier breasts and healing.
Therapeutic breast massage can result in:
Increased circulation of blood and lymph
Reduced congestion in breast tissue
Relief from mastalgia (breast pain)
Improved posture
Restored range of motion in the upper body
These physical improvements may provide huge psychological and emotional benefits, especially for those recovering from breast disease and the aftermath of invasive treatments and changes resulting from lactation and breastfeeding.
