Embarking on the journey of pregnancy and motherhood is a momentous part of life. However, with the joy comes aches and discomfort—challenges that Frisco Massage Therapy specializes in easing. We use therapeutic massage techniques to support mothers during prenatal and postnatal stages, enabling a smoother, healthier journey.
The Role of Therapeutic Massage in Prenatal Care
Pregnancy, while beautiful, brings about multiple physical changes that can result in discomfort. Here at Frisco Massage Therapy, we believe—no matter the inevitable challenges of pregnancy—that expecting mothers deserve to feel comfortable and relaxed during this critical stage.
The Mechanics of Pregnancy and Body Stress
Pregnancy exacerbates physical stress, particularly in areas like the back, neck, and abdominal muscles. Edema, or swelling in the limbs, is another common symptom. Due to the growing belly, a pregnant woman’s center of gravity shifts forward, causing changes in posture that further lead to aches and pains.
Benefits of Prenatal Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic massage can support prenatal care in the following ways:
- Relieves backaches
- Reduces leg cramps
- Lessens sciatica pain
- Improves sleep
- Enhances oxygenation of muscles and tissues
- Increases pliability of skin and underlying tissues
Our therapists at Frisco Massage Therapy are trained to address these issues and ease the discomfort that pregnancy can cause.
The Connection Between Therapeutic Massage and Postnatal Care
Once the baby is born, a new set of challenges emerges. Postnatal therapeutic massages can accelerate recovery and enhance the overall well-being of new mothers during this recovery period.
Postnatal Body Adjustments and Discomfort
A woman’s body undergoes a range of changes after giving birth. These include, but aren’t limited to, hormonal fluctuations, abdominal compression, sleep irregularities, and breastfeeding discomfort. Additionally, new mothers often face the physical strain from care activities like bending over cribs and carrying the baby.
Benefits of Postnatal Therapeutic Massage
A postnatal therapeutic massage can provide the following benefits:
- Reduces swelling
- Improves sleep
- Enhances breastfeeding
- Accelerates recovery from a cesarean birth
- Promotes maternal-child bonding
- Re-establishes pelvic positioning
