San Diego Massage - Pregnancy Massage

San Diego Pregnancy Massage
San Diego Massage

Hello wonderful baby-makers in San Diego. Are you feeling a little sore? Need a little time to relax? Have swollen ankles? High blood pressure resulting from pregnancy? Love receiving massages? If you answered YES to any of these, you need a pregnancy massage!

Pregnancy massages are usually an hour but can last an hour and a half, and focus on relaxation. You will be in a side-lying position for the massage, and propped up very comfortably with pillows. Streches help ease lower-back pressure as well as hip/glutes/thigh pressure.

I will also teach you a great position to sleep in at night to help reduce soreness. Pregnancy massages are great for the baby, too! Do not think that just the moms are benefitting from receiving a pregnancy massage--your baby experiences what you will experiences too, which is tranquility.

Benefits of a pregnancy massage:
--Elimination of waste products through the lymphatic & circulatory system, combats fatigue.
--Increased circulation and reduced stress on the heart which keep blood pressure in check.

--Alleviation of muscle tightness, stiffness, tension, and cramping.
--Relief from headaches, stiff neck, backaches, sciatica, edema, and sore feet.
--An increase in oxygen and nutrients to the cells of mother and fetus; which means mom has more energy and fetus receives better nourishment.
--Stabilization of hormone levels.
--Increased flexibility of muscles.
--Relaxation and better sleep; which means a healthier and happier mom.
--Relaxation of muscles to improve rotation of breech presentation.
--Preparation and loosening of the pelvis before birth.
--An easier childbirth.
--Easier breastfeeding and better milk production due to reduction in tension.
--Speedier healing during postpartum recovery.
--Realignment of pelvis after birth.
--Relief from soreness and stiffness after childbirth.
--Speedier recovery after a cesarean birth.

How to receive a massage. San Diego Massage Therapy

Some people are nervous or hesitant about receiving a massage if it is their first time. Do not be nervous my friends, just know these simple facts. It is best to remove all clothing and jewelry for a massage. If you have a good massage therapist in San Diego, he or she will never expose you. You must tell your therapist if you have injuries, soreness, and especially--during the massage if you experience pain or discomfort. Do not be embarrassedto say something. This is YOUR time. A massage should never be painful and does not have to be painful to be beneficial. It is never ok to come on to your therapist; professional massage is strictly non-sexual. The therapist has the right to end the massage at any timefor inappropriate behavior. Remember that this is a time for you to relax; keep conversation to the barest minimum. Focus on your breathing, relax your body, and do not try to help the therapist if they re-position your arms or legs. Let them do the lifting and just relax. Imagine a rag-doll, that is what you are for an hour. Do tell your therapist if you enjoyed the massage; what you did or did not like specifically so they will know for the next time. A tip is nice. And above all, get massages regularly for a healthy body and balanced life. If you need a massage in San Diego visit my site. San Diego Massage Therapy
