Massage Therapy
Massage therapy benefits people of all ages and is helpful in alleviating growing tension as a result of our modern lifestyle. Massage therapy is proven to help increase circulation, decrease blood pressure and decrease pain and discomfort by releasing your body's natural pain killers known as endorphins. Massage therapy can be used in both acute and chronic stages of healing.
Regular Swedish massage treatments will enhance your circulatory system, meaning that your muscles, tissues and other parts of your body will get more oxygen delivered to them each day. This outcome will increase muscle and joint health, in turn helping to prevent soft tissue injuries and dysfunction and shortening recovery time following an injury.
Massage therapy effects the nervous system by decreasing the body's stress response. This is why Massage is well known for it's effectiveness in increasing relaxation. For this reason, regular Massage Therapy treatments are often recommended as part of an overall stress management program.

As the baby grows, pressure from the uterus may impact other parts of the body resulting in discomfort, alterations in sensations, and swelling. Hormonal and physical changes, may also effect the emotional state of the mother, resulting in heightened stress levels and alterations in mood. Although these symptoms are common and almost expected to some degree, they can greatly impact day to day life, causing disruptions in sleep, physical activity, comfort levels and impacting overall sense of wellbeing.
