Mothers-to-be go through so many dynamic changes during pregnancy which affect them mentally, physically and emotionally.

While some women have an easy pregnancy, others fall prey to lower back pain and varicose veins among other discomforts.

Well, here is a method which can help pregnant women to overcome them. A pregnancy massage does not only provide relaxation for expectant women but numerous other benefits for baby and mother.

Among the benefits are: muscle ache and pain alleviation; improved skin elasticity; soothing of the nervous system through endorphin release to the mothers body, enabling better sleep and a healthier baby; increased circulation and distribution of nutrients; mitigation of varicose veins; stimulation of the lymphatic system and increased immunity; easing of water retention and swollen legs; maintenance of correct posture; reduction of pain perception during labour and risk of postpartum depression.

In sum, a pregnancy massage can result in a more comfortable pregnancy, a shorter and less painful labour, not to mention a healthier baby.
