Pregnancy and motherhood are beautiful but demanding journeys. Whether you’re preparing to welcome a new baby or recovering after delivery, your body and mind go through immense changes. That’s where pre and postnatal massage comes in a soothing, professional touch designed to support both your physical and emotional well-being.
But how do you know it’s time to book one? Here are the top signs your body is asking for a pre or postnatal massage today.
1. Persistent Lower Back or Hip Pain
During pregnancy, your posture shifts and extra weight puts pressure on the lower back and hips. If you’re experiencing persistent aches in these areas, a prenatal massage can relieve tension and improve alignment.
2. Trouble Sleeping
Hormonal changes and discomfort often lead to restless nights. A relaxing pre or postnatal massage stimulates serotonin and melatonin hormones that help regulate your sleep cycle naturally.
3. Swollen Hands, Feet, or Ankles
Edema (fluid retention) is common during pregnancy. Massage therapy promotes lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness and increasing circulation, which brings relief and helps you feel lighter.
4. Mood Swings or Anxiety
Pregnancy and postpartum hormone fluctuations can cause stress, mood swings, or anxiety. A nurturing massage experience helps regulate cortisol (the stress hormone) while increasing oxytocin, the “feel-good” hormone.
5. Post-Birth Body Aches
After giving birth, your body continues to adjust. Sore shoulders, neck, and back from nursing or carrying your baby can be gently eased with postnatal massage, helping speed up recovery and restore balance.
6. You Simply Need ‘Me Time’
If you’re constantly putting others first, it’s time to press pause. Pre and postnatal massages provide much-needed “you” time offering relaxation, reconnection, and a reset for your body and mind.
