At Active Integrative Medicine, we strive to improve wellness for all of our clients. We do this through offering different services tailored to specific situations. For example, our pregnancy massage service is designed to help alleviate some of the uncomfortable effects of pregnancy. Below are a few of the top benefits of having a professional pregnancy massage at our wellness clinic.
- Improved sleep. Getting a full night of rest can be a challenge when pregnant, and sometimes it can seem like there’s no hope for sleeping well. However, a high-quality pregnancy massage can help improve your sleep by encouraging the release of melatonin and serotonin hormones, both of which contribute to higher sleep quality.
- Less pain and cramping. It’s common to deal with pain and cramping as your muscles become tense throughout your pregnancy. It’s also hard to find relief from this pain, but our massage services can help drastically reduce this discomfort by targeting muscle and joint pain specifically.
- Alleviated stress. There’s a lot of stress and anxiety that comes with pregnancy, especially for first-time mothers. When this happens, there is a spike in cortisol levels in your body, the hormone responsible for stress. Pregnancy massages ease a lot of the stress and tension you feel while allowing your body to release more “feel-good” hormones, including serotonin and dopamine.
As you prepare for your delivery, don’t forget to take care of yourself and reduce a lot of the stress and discomfort that comes with pregnancy. Call us today to schedule a pregnancy massage.
