Pregnancy massage has multiple positive effects.
Massage has been used for therapeutic purposes for centuries. Today, massage therapy is used for chronic pain, sports injuries, stress, and more. It is even used for relieving discomfort and offering other benefits during pregnancy. We understand these benefits at Active Integrative Medicine, and we are proud to offer pregnancy massage services to those in Pickering, Ontario.
During pregnancy, you may experience symptoms of anxiety and depression, muscle aches, joint pain, and more. However, a pregnancy massage may be able to provide relief. It also helps with hormone regulation, which can improve your mood and cardiovascular health as your massage increases relaxation. Research also shows that prenatal massage can improve labour outcomes and newborn health. All these benefits, which can affect both you and your child, make pregnancy massage services worth considering.
Of course, safety is paramount when it comes to pregnancy massage. Our registered massage therapists will consult with you to ensure you are informed and can work with them to avoid any risks. You can rest assured they will be honest with you and put your best interests first.
