Benefits of Massage during Pregnancy

Ashley Blood, Massage Therapist explains that all of us are in need of more positive touch in our lives. As our lives become ever more rushed and pressured, we find fewer and fewer opportunities for actual physical contact with other people. Massage therapy has been shown to significantly improve both mental and physical well-being. It improves circulation, releases toxins by stimulating the lymphatic system, and lowers blood pressure. Massage performed on pregnant women provides these benefits to both the mother and the child, as both are inherently linked.
