Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy is a time of extreme changes to a woman's body. In the Egyptian
tombs, there have been found pictures of pregnancy massage, as well as other
types of medical modalities. During the 9 months, there are profound
changes, not only in our chemical make-up, but structurally as well. As
the baby grows, the Mothers' body must accommodate for the weight of the
baby. Her head goes forward, shoulders back, hips spread, lumbar spine
bends forward, legs rotate outward and she ends up waddling. Try that for
awhile! Muscles, ligaments, connective tissue, etc. are being asked to
stretch out of place just to stay upright.
The Pregnancy Class addresses the needs of Mothers' body as the baby grows.
Contraindications, acupressure points to use and to avoid, stretching that feels good, positioning during the massage and special massage strokes are the highlights of this class. When possible, expectant Mom's arrive for the afternoon so the students can experience what we've talked about. This is a very special time to honor and respect both Mom and Baby!
