PREGNANCY MASSAGE

Pregnancy is a period in a woman’s life that is full of changes and intense emotions. Since this period involves various and significant changes for the expectant mother, who sees her body differentiating and transforming day by day, she often finds herself feeling stressed and her mental balance and physical endurance are put to the test. The centre of gravity shifts forward and the body mass increases, while significant changes take place mainly in her musculoskeletal and endocrine systems. As a consequence, the pregnant woman sometimes faces several problems, resulting in her not being fully functional in her work and daily activities. The main causes of dysfunction during pregnancy are back pain, pelvic pain and stress.
The primary goal of this massage is the complete relaxation of the muscles under pressure and the whole body, along with mental and spiritual balance and the improvement of the circulatory system.
The techniques used are no different from Swedish massage, as the session is made up of rhythmic movements and gentle pressure applied from the feet to the neck and adapted to the body type of each pregnant woman.
