Prenatal Massage Newport Beach

At Massage Heights Newport Beach we understand that a woman’s body undergoes incredible changes during pregnancy. Those nine months are among the most momentous in life. The weight of the unborn child adds stress to an expectant mom’s muscles, bones and tissues. Posture and balance are affected. Joints may become sore. Feet, ankles and hands can swell. Later in the pregnancy she is also likely to feel aches and pains in the lower back caused by the weight of the uterus resting on the sciatic nerve.

These are only a few of the more common symptoms that come with pregnancy, and most of them can be easier to deal with after a massage.

It’s no secret - and it has been clinically proven - that regular massage therapy promotes relaxation. Expectant mothers can benefit!. With regular prenatal massage stress levels go down and moods are more easily regulated by the naturally occurring hormones and chemicals in her body. A massage provides mood regulation and brings much needed relief to many women who experience hypersensitivity and extreme mood swings because of the hormonal roller coaster associated with pregnancy.

Regular massage during pregnancy has also been shown to improve cardiovascular health. Pregnancy creates an abundance of blood and fluids in the body. For instance, the volume of blood is increased by about fifty percent! Prenatal massage treatments lead to improved circulation and dispersement of fluids that cause swelling and pooling, particularly in hands and feet.

Some massage therapists receive training in pregnancy massage. At Massage Heights, pregnant women are treated only by licensed massage therapists (LMTs) who are also trained in prenatal massage.

Our LMTs are experienced and knowledgeable about the massage techniques that are safe and comfortable for the expectant mom and her unborn child.

Although some ‘old wives’ tales warn against massage during the first trimester, it is safe under most circumstances to receive professional massage treatments from a certified prenatal Licensed Massage Therapist at any time during pregnancy. 

We hope you are interested in learning more about prenatal massage for yourself or someone special you care about.
