What Are the Benefits of Prenatal Massage?

It often helps expectant mothers who have a difficult time during pregnancy due to discomfort and pain. Our prenatal massage in Portsmouth is often ordered by physicians to help expectant mothers through pregnancy.
- Swelling Reduction
- Pregnancy often causes reduced circulation because of increased pressure on major blood vessels. Prenatal massage helps stimulate soft tissue to reduce fluid buildup on joints. It also helps improve the ability of the lymphatic system to carry away waste.
- Hormone Regulation
- Hormones, such as norepinephrine and cortisol, are reduced, while beneficial hormones, such as dopamine and serotonin, increase for women who receive prenatal massage. These changes help lower the chance of complications during birth.
- Reduction of Headaches and Sinusitis
- Prenatal massage helps decrease muscle spasms in specific areas, helping expectant mothers relieve headaches and sinusitis resulting from increased blood flow to mucus membranes.
- Pain Relief or Reduction
- Releasing serotonin helps decrease recurring bouts of discomfort, aches, and pain.
- Blood Pressure Control
- Prenatal massages facilitate better blood flow, maintaining optimum blood pressure for expectant mothers.
- Improvement of Flexibility
- Prenatal massages help prevent muscle stiffness and reduce muscle cramps.
- Helping the Nourishment of the Fetus
- Because of the increased blood circulation, prenatal massages help the flow of oxygen and nourishment reach the fetus.
