Relaxation plays an important role during pregnancy. The opportunity to relax can help reduce stress levels, which can then help improve sleep, ease aches and pains, and boost energy levels. Pregnancy massage also boosts lymphatic drainage to help reduce swelling.
Massage is useful in alleviating sciatic pain which some women can experience late in their pregnancy. Other benefits of pregnancy massage include the reduction of lower back and shoulder pain, reducing muscle tension and tightness, relieving headaches, reducing tension or anxiety and encouraging better sleep.
