Benefits of Prenatal Massage Therapy

For centuries massage therapy has been used to improve overall health, reduce stress, and relieve muscle tension. Research is now supporting the benefits of prenatal massage therapy.

Studies are showing prenatal massage therapy can help reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and improve labor outcomes and newborn health. Prenatal massage therapy addresses different needs through varying techniques.

Some benefits of prenatal massage therapy include:
Regulation of hormones
Reduced swelling
Improvement in sciatic nerve pain
Better sleep
improved circulation
Reduced stress and anxiety

With the guidance and advice of a prenatal care provider, massage therapy can be incorporated into routine prenatal care to enhance both emotional and physical health.
