Why is massage so needed?
During pregnancy, the body's center of gravity changes. Because of this, the posture changes and the spine is much more overloaded than on a daily basis. This can cause pain and even permanent spinal injuries. Additionally, the new state of the body and the changes occurring within it cause many other ailments that can be alleviated through massage.
For example, changing hormonal balance combined with pressure on the lymph nodes near the groins means that lymph does not have a free flow from the vessels in the legs. This, in turn, leads to leg swelling, which, especially on hot days, is very distressing for pregnant women. Lymphatic drainage or endermology used at Ambasada Urody in Warsaw effectively help with this problem.
Another problem, which is rarely talked about and can cause a lot of harm to both the mother and the child, is stress. Stress can result in muscle tension, increased blood pressure (an extremely dangerous condition for the child), or insomnia. Massage combined with aromatherapy soothes the senses and eliminates the effects of stress. This greatly helps to experience this time in peace and joy.
When is massage during pregnancy contraindicated?
In the first trimester of pregnancy and in high-risk pregnancies, massage should be avoided because, besides its highly beneficial effects, it changes blood circulation and can overstimulate the body and trigger premature contractions.
