PREGNANCY & POSTPARTUM MASSAGE
At Integrated Body Therapy in Hackney we support women in all stages of pregnancy and post-natal stage.
Pregnancy Massage
We provide a pregnancy massage, also known as prenatal massage, to support the unique needs of pregnant women. This treatment provides physical and emotional benefits during the various stages of pregnancy, helping to alleviate discomfort, reduce stress, and promote overall well-being for both the mother and the developing baby.
Pregnancy massage offers several benefits to expectant mothers. It can help reduce back and joint pain, alleviate muscle tension and headaches, improve circulation, reduce swelling (oedema), and promote better sleep. Additionally, it can provide emotional support, reduce anxiety and stress, and enhance overall mood and well-being.
Postnatal Massage
This treatment greatly supports women during their recovery after childbirth. It is designed to address the physical and emotional changes that occur during the postpartum period, providing relaxation, pain relief, and overall well-being for new mothers.
Physically, it can help relieve muscle tension, particularly in areas such as the neck, shoulders, back, and hips that are often affected by the demands of pregnancy and childbirth. The massage can also improve circulation, reduce swelling, and aid in the healing process.
In addition to the physical benefits, postnatal massage provides valuable emotional support. The postpartum period can bring about a range of emotions and adjustments, and the nurturing and supportive environment of a postnatal massage session can offer a much-needed opportunity for relaxation and stress reduction. It can help alleviate symptoms of postpartum depression and anxiety, improve sleep quality, and promote a sense of overall well-being.
