Pregnancy
Massage
Being pregnant can be the best time in a woman's
life. Having another being growing inside of her can cause her to radiate
a glow.
Although pregnancy is a wonderful experience it is also a time of
great changes in your body, physical and chemical.
These changes can
cause a variety of discomforts. Some common discomforts are heartburn,
indigestion, hemorrhoids, morning sickness/nausea, low or high blood
pressure and sinus congestion. Massage may help to relieve some of these
ailments. I also encourage couples to come in together for one massage
session. Pregnancy is a stressful time for both the husband and wife. I
feel it is important to teach couples how to work on each other at home.
