Pregnancy is a time of great anticipation, excitement and joy…yet it also can bring sore legs, an achy lower back and a general sense of the “blahs”. Prenatal massage has been shown to greatly alleviate these symptoms while encouraging improved blood and lymphatic circulation. Joint pain is lessened, swollen feet meet with some relief and sleep is restful. In addition, studies have shown that the level of the “happiness” hormone seratonin increases with weekly massage and helps maintain a state of relaxation and well-being throughout pregnancy: a wonderful way to welcome a new baby into the world!
