Pregnancy Massage at Body Elements

 

 

Congratulations!

Pregnancy Massage is a wonderful and must-have therapy to be enjoyed from the 2^nd trimester through to due date!

This Pregnancy Massage was created by Deborah Fernandes our Clinical Director, who is a Chartered Physiotherapist with 15 years of experience and holding specific and qualified pregnancy and postnatal training including Ayurveda training for Women’s Health in India.

As a Chartered Physiotherapist in Women’s Health, qualified Antenatal Educator and Prenatal Pilates Instructor, Deborah understands the physiological and anatomical changes that occurs during pregnancy and the aches and pains associated while pregnancy progresses.

The clinical expertise combined with her holistic approach resulted in a innovative and practical Pregnancy Massage where a Physio Ball, expert touch and skilled techniques are applied to release the tension on Back, Neck and Shoulders, reduce fluid retention and tiredness on feet and legs and finally to soothe the worries on head and face, relaxing the entire body and calming the mind.

Our in-house Holistic Therapists, Jackie and Grainne, completed a 30h Pregnancy Massage Training with Deborah and are now fully qualified to offer any mum-to-be or new mum the pamper experience that every woman deserves!

Some of the benefits of Pregnancy Massage include:

1. Reduces stress and promotes relaxation, so less stress, and a better night’s sleep.
2. Reduces oedema, relieves varicose veins and increases lymph and blood flow.
3. Reduces muscle and joint pain, including backache, cramps and carpal tunnel syndrome.
4. Facilitates hormonal, respiratory, gastrointestinal, urinary and other physiological processes, which occur in pregnancy.

Benefits of Massage in Labour
