During pregnancy many changes occur that affect the physical state of the woman, in addition to causing tensions and anxiety in some cases. Relaxation is important for a healthy pregnancy and massages can help achieve that well-being..
Do you spend a lot of time standing and your feet hurt or swell? Does your back hurt or do you have tight shoulders? They are common situations during pregnancy and massages can help reduce those symptoms. They produce a fabulous well-being that will also help you sleep better.
We are not talking about strong but gentle massages, which help to relax the feet, legs, back, shoulders, head ... To do this you do not have to press hard but rather caress hard, slightly affecting the muscles, with soft touches of the hands.
These massages help to activate the circulation (which suffers so much during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester), to prevent cramps and to reach certain tense points that relax. In this way we experience a feeling of placidity and tranquility that will also help us psychologically, since we eliminate stress and feel better.
Our partner is the ideal person to perform these relaxing massages during pregnancy, since a complicity is established and the moment is taken to feel closer. Although if you do not have that possibility and you can afford it, there are aesthetic centers and other establishments that also offer them.
In addition, there are certain ailments of pregnancy that can be relieved by massages, although if it is not relaxing but therapeutic massages you have to put yourself in the hands of professionals, since a bad massage given can cause the opposite effect.
But don't give up relaxing massages during pregnancy, which together with the practice of exercise or the improvement of posture will help us feel better at this stage, more rested and with better circulation.
