Pregnancy Massage DVD: Taking care of mother and baby This video demonstrates massage techniques that meet the special needs of pregnant mothers. These techniques reduce body pain, increase circulation, address low back and hip pain, prevent leg cramps, and help the mother sleep well to full term. Full body massage can be done safely from conception to labor and delivery. Prenatal massage is becoming the standard of care for mothers who want to be as comfortable as possible throughout their entire pregnancy. For the majority of pregnant mothers, their hips and low backs cause the most problems. This is due to hormonal changes that prompt muscles to tighten in order to protect joints. Prenatal massage that focuses on these areas can reduce and often eliminate discomfort. In addition, proper pillowing for sleeping removes nighttime strain on the hip structure and eases symptoms of sciatica. Proper pillowing can also allow a mother to sleep on her back through full term. Learn special stretching techniques for the calves that can stop the cramping most common in the last two months. In addition, learn about optimal fetal positioning and how a mother can help in that process. Imagine going through your pregnancy with ease of movement and without pain. You can! Indulge in regular bodywork from the start and enjoy the many benefits of full body, pregnancy massage.
