PREGNANCY AND POST NATAL MASSAGE in CARDIFF

Pregnancy massage can be easily adapted to fit the comforts of an expecting mother. This treatment is usually done with the woman laying on her side and prompted up by supports. It can also be done in a chair. Post natal massage is carried out pretty much the same as a regular treatment depending on each individuals needs. I use a variety of techniques such as effleurage, petrissage, friction, vibration, and holds. The benefits of pregnancy massage provide some relief in lower back pain, calf pain and also help strengthen the immune system, promote digestion, increase circulation, helps with odema if present and provides overall relaxation. In the early stages of pregnancy massage can provide relief from nausea and can be very supportive to the mother during these first few months of change.
