Benefits of Prenatal (Pregnancy) Massage
|
Michael takes particular delight in providing massage for mothers-to-be and for those who have recently delivered. As a highly experienced therapist since 1999, massage educator since 2004, father and grandfather, Michael appreciates the discomforts and changes associated with pregnancy, respects the particular concerns that emerge in each of the trimesters of pregnancy, and provides confident, safe, secure, loving and respectful touch to expectant mothers. Some therapists, respecting the limits of their training and their own comfort level, are reluctant to work with pregnant women. Pregnancy is not a pathology, however, and barring significant complications, is hardly a contraindication for receiving massage! To the contrary, many of the postural and structural discomforts of pregnancy, the stresses and physiological accommodations can be greatly relieved by periodic massage throughout pregnancy. The body can be aided in it's post partum adaptations by continued massage, and the emotional, and physical stresses of caring for a newborn, lifting, holding and carrying, sleep interruptions, can all be helpfully addressed with caring, therapeutic massage. Positioning and Draping, Full consideration will be given to your physical comfort and positioning during the massage. Allowing you to assume supine (face up) or Prone (face down) positions for as long as they are comfortable and effective, using additional pillows and bolsters whenever needed. As your pregnancy progresses, much of the work will be done side lying, bolstered with body pillows and draped with respect to access, comfort and vulnerability of side lying. You will be invited to move whenever the position you are in becomes uncomfortable, as each woman, each pregnancy, and each baby are different moment by moment as to their needs. Massage for Two I like to acknowledge the second person on my table and will ask if you object to light, soft massage of the abdomen. Most mothers to be appreciate this, as I'm sure the babies do as well. Sadly, many people, especially women, have not received any abdominal massage, even when not pregnant. Many corporate massage schools are so preoccupied with liability concerns that they don't teach proper draping or abdominal work at all. Many spas have rigid protocols that don't allow any massage of areas covering as much as 40% of the body. But the abdomen is a sacred energy center, seat of emotional holding, the location of two major chakras, most of the internal organs of digestion, elimination and reproduction, and for many, when they are very still and inwardly focused, the very seat of the God within, the divine spark that animates us, the part of us that can not die, the soul. Little wonder that this is where babies originate and are carried till birth. |
