Prenatal Massage
This is a special massage designed exclusively for pregnant women,
combining shiatsu techniques.
During pregnancy, a woman's body changes on a daily basis,
which also increases physical and mental stress.
Aches and pains such as painful swelling,
back and neck pain as well as mental stress due to hormonal changes,
can upset the balance between body and mind.
Distressing symptoms in the second trimester of pregnancy
1. Swelling
During pregnancy, the body requires more blood.
This increase in blood volume raises the fluid levels in the blood vessels,
some of which may leak into the surrounding tissues.
This phenomenon, often visible in the feet, ankles, and hands, is called swelling.
Additionally, the enlarging uterus can impair blood circulation in the lower body,
further exacerbating the swelling.
2. Lower back pain
As pregnancy progresses, the belly enlarges.
This shifts the centre of gravity forward, increasing the load on the back and lumbar region.
Moreover, the pregnancy hormone relaxin makes the joints
and ligaments around the pelvis more flexible, which can also cause lower back pain.
3. Shoulder pain
Similar to lower back pain, the increase in weight and the shift in the centre of gravity during pregnancy are also linked to shoulder pain.
Maintaining balance requires the back muscles to remain tense at all times,
which can lead to shoulder pain.
Additionally, stress and anxiety can increase tension in the shoulder muscles.
4. Mental stress
Hormonal changes during pregnancy can cause emotional fluctuations and mental instability.
Hormones such as oestrogen and progesterone increase significantly, which can affect mood.
Additionally, the physical changes associated with pregnancy
and concerns about the future can also contribute to mental stress.
The "Prenatal Massage" session combines massage techniques specifically tailored
for pregnancy with traditional shiatsu methods.
This program is particularly effective in relieving swollen feet,
lower back pain, and shoulder aches commonly experienced during pregnancy,
as well as helping to manage stress.
Lymphatic drainage techniques are used to improve circulation and reduce swelling.
The traditional shiatsu approach helps relieve lower back pain and shoulder tension.
Additionally, each session ends with a facial treatment that helps reduce mental stress.
This can help alleviate pain, reduce swelling, aid in fatigue recovery,
manage stress, and improve sleep.
The "Prenatal Massage" is recommended for those
who wish to fully enjoy their relaxation time and ease the discomforts of pregnancy.
A safe environment is guaranteed,
and professional therapists are ready to welcome every client.
Support during pregnancy and preparation for childbirth are essential.
Pregnancy is a special time in life, and it's important to cherish every moment.
