Why is a pregnancy massage important?

There are a million reasons why a pregnancy massage would be hugely appreciated and emotionally and physically beneficial. The power of touch is well known, it creates a sense of belonging, safety and trust. It enhances a collection of wonderful love hormones which are proven to reduce stress, anxiety and tension. Whilst, enhancing the immune, lymphatic and cardiovascular system. Massage relieves muscle aches and pains, improves posture and overall is just an enjoyable experience.
And let’s be honest, anyone growing a tiny human inside them deserves it ❤️

Massage and oxytocin ❤️

Oxytocin- the love hormone, the cuddle chemical. A massage lasting more than 15 minutes massively increases your oxytocin levels as well as enhancing serotonin and dopamine. If these are high, then the stress hormone cortisol will be low. Therefore, a massage reduces stress levels and anxiety and leaves you feeling emotionally and physically calm and relaxed.
