Pregnancy can be an exciting but overwhelming time. Many women feel increasingly anxious and stressed. Prenatal massage can help reduce that anxiety and provides numerous other benefits for expecting mothers. If you’re in Juneau, Rejuvenation Salon & Spa can help your pregnancy go more smoothly, offering massages that can improve the health of you and your baby.

They’ve helped to highlight what prenatal massages can do for you.

  • Juneau-AK-prenatal-massagesRegulates Hormones: Hormones related to stress, including cortisol, are shown to decrease in pregnant women who get regular prenatal massages. Reducing these hormones also helps to increase positive ones, such as dopamine, which plays a large role in preventing and fighting depression.
  • Reduces Swelling: During pregnancy, more pressure and restriction is placed on mobility and joints as the baby continues to grow. Regular massages can help to improve circulation and blood flow, while reducing the swelling of their joints.
  • Helps Relieve Nerve Pain: The repositioning of the uterus during pregnancy can often cause women to experience intense pain in their legs and back. The extra pressure causes their nerves to pinch, resulting in sciatica nerve pain. Massages can help to relieve the pressure on these nerves.
  • Reduces Headaches: Built up stress and inflamed nerve pain can often contribute to painful headaches. Reducing these other symptoms will also help to decrease the frequency of these headaches.
  • Allows Better Sleep: Reducing pain and headaches will help you sleep better during your pregnancy to get the rest you need.
