You NEED Massage:
Prenatal massage therapy can help reduce anxiety, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and improve birth outcomes. In a recent study, women who received bi-weekly prenatal massage for only five weeks, cortisol (the stress hormone) was reduced, and dopamine and serotonin levels were increased.
Benefits of Prenatal Massage:
- Improved circulation
- Reduced edema or swelling
- Reduced headaches
- Reduced stress and anxiety
- Better sleep
- Better birth outcomes
