At Eastern Therapies, we understand the myriad of questions swirling in your mind about pregnancy massage – this is why we’ve put together this FAQ guide to support and enlighten expecting mothers on their journey towards motherhood. Let’s dive into the essentials, sharing our expertise to bring comfort, clarity, and excitement to your prenatal care routine.
When Should You Start Receiving Pregnancy Massages?
The journey to motherhood is unique for every woman, but a common question is, “When is it safe to start getting pregnancy massages?”. Generally, prenatal massages are considered safe and beneficial throughout the second and third trimesters. Before beginning any new treatment, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider, especially if you have specific health concerns or a high-risk pregnancy.
How Often Should I Get a Prenatal Massage?
The frequency of prenatal massages can vary based on individual needs, preferences, and healthcare provider recommendations. Many expectant mothers find a bi-weekly or monthly session beneficial to manage the physical and emotional changes during pregnancy. Regular massages can significantly reduce stress and promote relaxation, enhancing your prenatal experience.
What are the Safe Areas for Prenatal Massage?
Understanding the safe zones for prenatal massage is crucial for the wellbeing of both mother and child. Our skilled therapists are trained in specific techniques designed for pregnant women, focusing on areas that relieve common discomforts like back pain, neck tension, and swollen ankles. We avoid deep pressure on the abdomen and certain acupressure points that are contraindicated during pregnancy, ensuring a safe, relaxing experience.
Benefits of Prenatal Massage
Prenatal massage offers a plethora of benefits, including but not limited to:
Stress Reduction
A calming oasis for the mind, reducing anxiety and promoting emotional wellbeing.
Pain Relief
Eases the discomforts of pregnancy, such as backaches, stiff neck, and leg cramps.
