About Pregnancy Massage Therapy
Prenatal massage therapy in Bangor, Ellsworth and Brewer provides pregnant women with the opportunity to relieve pain and reduce stress. As pregnancy is a time of great hormonal changes, not to mention bodily changes, massage can be quite effective. By going to a massage therapist who is skilled in prenatal massage you can rest assured that you and baby will be safe during and after the massage sessions. Additionally by using prenatal massage therapy as a form of pain relief you can avoid having to take prescription drugs, such as painkillers, that can be detrimental to the safety of your unborn child. We also find that expecting mothers who have had prenatal massage therapy are more prepared for the pain of labor and delivery, as well as post-pregnancy body changes.
Why Prenatal Massage is Beneficial for Pregnancy
Getting prenatal massage is beneficial in a number of ways. The most notable way that we can help you during pregnancy is by combing massage with other chiropractic techniques. For example, we can also use chiropractic adjustments using a gentle approach to help ensure your spine is in alignment during this time of great physical change. An out of align spine can cause increased pressure and pain in various regions of your body. For instance, if your spine is not adjusted correctly you may have increased pressure on one side of your body, which can lead to sciatic nerve pain.
By using a combination of chiropractic care and massage therapy we can help you feel more comfortable and less pain during your pregnancy. We also use acupuncture as a safe and effective chiropractic technique for treating pain and improving healing. For expecting mothers these techniques can provide drastic improvement in the overall pregnancy experience.
Conditions Our Prenatal Massage Therapist Treats
In addition to reducing stress thanks to the relaxing effect, you can reduce several physical ailments associated with pregnancy. For example, prenatal massage therapy helps with leg cramps, swelling, back pain, and neck pain. The goal for your massage therapist is to help you feel at your best during your pregnancy.
