Registered Massage Therapy in Vaughan
Massage therapy should be on the must do list for EVERYONE. We cannot say enough about the benefits of this manual therapy that has been helping humans for thousands of years. Massage therapy is a wonderful way to reconnect with your body, calm the mind, relieve tension and pain, reduce stress, increase circulation, improve lymphatic drainage…and so on.
Prenatal Massage
Pregnancy is an exciting but often stressful and can be an uncomfortable time in a woman’s life. The body is constantly changing and the demands put on it are significant making this the perfect time to enjoy the benefits of massage therapy. Massage therapy is great at relieving the various aches and pains of pregnancy, improve circulation, reduce swelling, relieve headaches, reduce stress/anxiety, improve sleep and prepare your body for birth. Tailored specifically to each patient, massage therapy can improve overall prenatal health and should be an integral part of every pregnant woman’s prenatal care.
Postnatal Massage
Creating and birthing a new life is a miraculous thing but it also puts a lot of strain on a woman’s body. Postnatal massage can help the body recover smoother and relieve the various issues that arise postpartum.
Most new mamas tend not to take care of themselves the way they should. It can be really hard to make time for yourself when you are focused on your new little baby. As much as you need to care for this little person, you will recover better and be the mama you want to be if you make a little time for yourself. You will most likely be putting your body in awkward positions in order to keep your little one settled or to nurse. There will be lots of bending over and lifting which can put a toll on your back especially as your little one grows. All the more reason to include regular postnatal massage into your routine. It can help relieve stress, anxiety, increase circulation, improve sleep, reduce swelling, reduce tension and pain and promote a general sense of well-being.
Take a little time for yourself, you’re worth it mama!
