Prenatal Massage + A Deal for YOU with Massage Envy! |

Hey all! This pregnancy is hitting the home stretch, can I get an amen? But– the bigger I get the more aches and pains that seem to hit me. Lately it’s been horrible sciatic nerve pain in my lower back. I remember having this with Connor, but let’s face it….it’s been almost 10 years and this Mama has forgotten some things!

Last weekend I had the wonderful opportunity to try out Massage Envy’s prenatal massage service. It was HEAVEN! I know a lot of masseuses won’t do massage on pregnant women, so do some research and find out before hand if that location is certified in prenatal care. A prenatal massage a healthy way to reduce stress and promote overall wellness. Massage relieves many of the normal discomforts experienced during pregnancy, such as backaches (like sciatic nerve pain), stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches and edema (or swelling).

Massage for pregnant women also reduces stress on weight-bearing joints, encourages blood and lymph circulation, helps to relax nervous tension — which aids in better sleep — and can help relieve depression or anxiety caused by hormonal changes. Let me tell you my hormones are CRAZY…or so I’ve been told by certain people. LOL! I also have a hard time sleeping, but after my massage my muscles felt so much better and I was able to relax.

Before you start your massage you will go over all the areas that are bothering you. See below.

Where the magic happens.

You will lay in a different position than a normal massage. Laying on your side with supportive, soft cushions is used to alleviate the extra strain on the lower back and pelvic areas when the pressure of massage techniques are applied. Extra strain in these areas can cause unnecessary back or abdominal pain, so naturally we want to avoid any potential discomfort.

Headaches can be relieved by massage focusing on the head, neck and shoulders. Muscle tension created by carrying the extra weight of a baby can be relieved by encouraging blood flow to the afflicted areas. This provides more nutrient-rich oxygen and also increases the flow of lymphatic fluid, which sweeps away toxins and metabolic waste.

Fatigue, backaches, leg cramps and swelling/edema can all be relieved through various types of massage for pregnant women.

I also had an amazing sugar scrub on my feet towards the end of my massage. This is also offered at Massage Envy.

After I was all relaxed from my massage I had a fabulous facial too. As we all know….hormones are crazy and sometimes that can show on your face. A facial is a great way to relax and give you that GLOW!

The awesome team at Massage Envy – Las Colinas is ready to spoil you too! Whether you have a birthday coming up, Mother’s Day is right around the corner, or want to try the prenatal services like I did….there’s always a good reason to RELAX!
