Prenatal Massage
Beneficial Prenatal Massage in Canyon Lake Area
Prenatal Massage can ease some of the aches and pains of pregnancy and help you relax. It may also reduce swelling, improve mood, and help relieve some pregnancy depression and anxiety. Massage by Leanna is experienced with Prenatal Massage in Canyon Lake Area.
Before getting a pregnancy massage, ensure your medical provider is okay with the treatment.
Carrying a baby inside you changes your center of gravity and puts a lot of stress on your back, neck, abdominal muscles, and shoulders.
Pregnancy also relaxes your ligaments, meaning your pelvic joints are less stable, and it also changes your posture, pulling your pelvis forward. Add the extra weight you’re carrying, and you may have an aching lower back.
You can get a prenatal massage at any point in pregnancy, as long as you have your doctor or midwife’s okay.
I should be able to help you get comfortable at every stage of your pregnancy. In the beginning, it may be uncomfortable to lie facedown because of your tender, swollen breasts. And it may be difficult to lie facedown on a traditional massage table once your belly has started to grow.
You can lie on your side with pillows, wedges, or a full-length body pillow for support.
If lying facedown on a special pregnancy massage table stresses your lower back, try lying on your side or ask me to help you find a comfortable position.
Having a prenatal massage may be risky in a few situations, such as:
You have a blood clot or a bone fracture.
You have a skin injury or condition that could be aggravated by rubbing. These include burns, open wounds, skin infections, or eczema.
You’ve had an allergic reaction to massage oils.
Talk to your healthcare provider if you have concerns about whether it would be okay to have a prenatal massage.
