Massage during pregnancy can be a wonderful way to help to alleviate many of the symptoms and conditions associated with pregnancy. Regular sessions can help with backache, swollen ankles, aching muscles, fatigue, breast soreness, heartburn and more. It can help you to feel more connected with your baby.
It can also help mum to deal with the emotional stresses, such as concern for the baby's health, your changing body image and just coping with the day to day challenges. During this amazing time of physical and emotional change, massage can be of enormous benefit to both mother and baby.
I use Neal's Yard Remedies nourishing Mother's Balm in my massage sessions to nourish and help to guard against stretch marks.
