Prenatal massage is a gentle treatment, typically practiced from the second trimester onward, offering numerous physical and psychological benefits. It relieves back and joint pain, as well as heavy legs, reduces stress and anxiety, improves sleep, and promotes better blood circulation. Indications Relief from physical pain: It helps release tension in the back, shoulders, pelvis, and neck, which is common as the belly grows. Improved circulation and reduced swelling: Massage stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation, thus alleviating the feeling of heavy legs and water retention. Reduced stress and anxiety: It promotes the production of endorphins (the body's natural painkillers) and oxytocin, while lowering cortisol levels, for an immediate relaxing effect. Improved sleep: By promoting relaxation, it helps combat insomnia and improve sleep quality. Flexibility and preparation for childbirth: It helps loosen muscles and joints, preparing the body for labor. Reconnect with your body: It offers a special moment to relax and connect with your baby.
