Prenatal Massage Therapy

Prenatal Massage Therapy provides a healthy attitude and treatment to help a mother along through all her pregnancy stages. Her comfort, care and relaxation are top priority. A pregnancy massage is different from a traditional Swedish Massage, as it involves lighter, shorter movements of the abdomen, lower back and sacral areas, especially in the first trimester. Deep massage or pressure is never used in these areas to ensure baby’s comfort and safety.
 

The therapeutic benefits of a professional pregnancy massage administered by a Registered Massage Therapist include increasing relaxation and circulation while promoting good health, increasing flexibility and energy level by day while also soothing and relaxing mom’s sore, expanding muscles for a better night’s sleep.

A pregnancy massage also promotes increased good health, self healing, and helps to reduce water retention, ease physical stress due to mom's changing body as well as alleviate physiological stress that comes along with the stresses of daily life.

Infant Massage (Baby or Pediatric Massage)

Infant Massage is a vital, dynamic interaction that forms the foundation of relationship building that will last a lifetime. Nurturing touch between a parent/caregiver and an infant enriches physiological, social-emotional, and mind/body/spirit connections for the infant being massaged, as well as for the parent. Being touched and caressed, being massaged, is food for the infant, food as necessary as minerals, vitamins and proteins.

Touch is vital for the development of attachment behavior and for early social development of the young child, in that both the infant and parent have the capacity to elicit and respond to behaviors in mutually pleasurable ways. The original infant-parent tie is very important for infants-and society-because it is from this original attachment and bonding that all subsequent attachments will follow.

Two conditions that enhance development of bonding are the ability of the parent to be sensitive in understanding and responding to his or her infant’s cues, and the amount and nature of the interactions between infant and parent. It is through infant massage that bonding may be deepened.

Social interaction is significant for the parents’ well being, essential for the child’s development during the first three years of life, and paramount thereafter. Babies are social creatures who learn from their interactions with others. Expanding children’s repertoire of interactive behaviors can assist them to influence their world, and deepen their quality of life and the lives of their parents.

Research shows that Infant Massage has been beneficial in the following areas:

• Helps Relieve Discomfort from Gas, Colic, and Constipation
• Improves Blood Circulation
• Aids in Digestion
• Enhanced Development of the Nervous System
• Stimulates Neurological Development
• Increases Alertness/Heightened Awareness
• Reduces Stress Hormones
• Improves Immune Function
• The Release of Oxytocin, the Nurturing Hormone
