Massage enhances circulation, which provides more oxygen and nutrients both to mother and baby. Increased immunity also occurs through stimulation of the lymphatic system, which helps to remove toxins.
Through promotion of the parasympathetic system, both mother and baby are in a relaxation response through release of endorphins.
When in parasympathetic mode, we are able to sleep better, our digestion is enhanced, we have fewer stress hormones released, and our immune system is at its optimum. A peaceful and calm mama is a peaceful and calm baby.
As the baby gets bigger and bigger, more stress is placed upon the mother’s hip, back, chest, shoulders, legs, feet and neck. Massage is used to alleviate these symptoms allowing for more comfort and stress relief.
