What is pregnancy massage
Prenatal Pregnancy Massage – ‘Natural Choice’
Birth usually occurs about 40 weeks after the first day of the ordinary period. In this period, a woman goes through several hormonal and physiological changes, causing anxiety, muscle pain, back and leg pain, sleep disorders, increased levels of norepinephrine (stress hormones), and improper blood circulation. Pregnancy massage in London, done at Massaggi, can vastly reduce the chances of built-up pain and stress, which often increases the complexity of labour. There are several techniques of prenatal massage suitable for different types of results. However, pregnancy massage is very different from what is practised in ordinary massage centres.
During pregnancy, a woman undergoes a unique process of adjusting to the inevitable anatomical and physiological changes that occur for the special purpose of carrying a baby. However, these changes put pressure and stress on the Mother. Muscles and joint mechanisms are affected by different activities and job types one chooses to perform. Twelve weeks after conception, the embryo has developed into a human baby, and all its organs are formed.

Pregnancy Massage London – ‘The Caretaker’
When seeking a pregnancy massage in London, it’s essential to understand your condition thoroughly. Getting a prenatal massage is more than just a regular massage; it’s about relaxation and care during pregnancy. It requires understanding the physical and physiological condition of a mother. Most babies are conceived around the middle of the woman’s menstrual cycle, following an intercourse taking place just before or after her ovaries produce an egg, known as ovulation.
Once a sperm from the man fertilises the egg, it implants itself into the womb lining and becomes a growing embryo. When the first period is missed, the embryo is usually about two weeks old, and its heart begins to beat. Given the week a mother is into, the massage therapist uses careful profiling to know about the current muscular state. Pregnancy massage differs from other forms as it has a minimal area for therapeutic movement. An expecting mother experiences pain in her lower back, neck, and legs very often. At Massaggi, we take care of prenatal requirements with utmost care and delicacy.

The best way to manage stress during pregnancy is to undergo regular pregnancy massage in London. Prenatal massage has proved to be very effective in helping pregnant women deal with the physical and psychological stress that is caused by pregnancy.
Massage during pregnancy is generally safe when performed by a fully qualified and experienced massage therapist who understands the physiological changes and common symptoms associated with pregnancy. Such therapists, like Ben Pianese in London, are trained to recognise signs of severe conditions that could endanger the mother or baby, adapting treatments to accommodate the mother’s growing tummy and specific needs, ensuring both safety and effectiveness.
Prenatal massage is performed by a specialised massage therapist using an ergonomic, comfortable massage table. Clients lie on their stomachs, supported by a pillow under their head and a unique body cushion, with the position adjusted according to the individual’s body size. The recovery position is typically most comfortable for most women. A large towel is provided for easy movement without exposure, and an extra blanket can be offered for warmth, though the therapy room is adequately heated. Increased circulation during pregnancy helps most clients stay warm.
