  1. 3 SURPRISING BENEFITS OF PRENATAL MASSAGE THERAPY

  2. Pregnancy can be a bit of an enigma. It’s joyous, challenging, and painful at times, and all the while it’s an awe-inspiring and beautiful process. Throughout pregnancy, women are given a plethora of advice about how to best care for their health and the health of their baby. Instructions on diet, exercise, and clothing are in no short supply. However, sometimes the most surprising health benefits are found in the simplest and oldest practices such as massage therapy.

  3. RELAXATION With the largest population of any province in Canada, Ontario has its fair share of hustle-bustle. We all need to unwind now and again, and for pregnant women, this is especially true. Visiting a massage therapy clinic in Kitchener for a prenatal massage can boost oxytocin levels. Oxytocin is well-known as the “feel-good hormone.” Not only can massage raise oxytocin, but it can also lower your levels of cortisol. High cortisol levels can be linked to fetal development concerns as well as issues with post- partum depression.

  4. CIRCULATION During pregnancy, a woman’s blood volume increases up to 50% to accommodate added nutrients and hydration for the growing baby causing swelling in the limbs or even painful conditions like varicose veins. Fortunately for pregnant women in the Waterloo area, regular visits to a massage therapy clinic in Kitchener can improve blood circulation and help reduce swelling from water retention. Massage can encourage the lymphatic system to drain, help move blood and nutrients throughout the body, and improve comfort and mobility.

  5. SLEEP Pregnancy can be exhausting, and proper sleep is a critical part of the overall health and wellness of not just the mother-to-be but also the developing baby. Much of an expectant mother’s insomnia can be traced back to pain and anxiety. It’s difficult to sleep with a sore and swollen body as well as when under stress. The good news is that with treatment from a massage therapy clinic in Kitchener, Waterloo moms-to-be can improve their sleep and rest up for the busy days ahead. Massage encourages the production of serotonin and melatonin which play a vital role in healthy sleep.

  6. As you prepare to welcome a new bundle of joy into your life, it’s important to take care of yourself, too. Massage is a time-tested whole- body healing technique that can benefit expectant mothers immensely. If you’re expecting, reach out to a trusted massage therapy clinic in Kitchener like Highland Physio and Rehab to discuss the benefits of prenatal massage, today.
