Massage Envy Provides Relief For Expectant Moms
Prenatal Massage Remains a Popular Therapy Choice
Scottsdale, Ariz. (July 16,
2010) - Massage Envy, the nation's largest massage
therapy provider and the largest spa chain in America, continues to
see a high demand for prenatal massages due to the substantial
physical benefits it provides pregnant women.
Many pregnant women are adding prenatal massage to their monthly
regimen to relieve the typical discomforts experienced during
pregnancy, such as backaches, stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches,
joint pain and edema. Prenatal massage also helps alleviate
the depression and anxiety common among many expectant moms due to
hormonal changes.
Massage Envy therapists work to stimulate the lymphatic system,
increasing immunity and the removal of excess toxins while
stabilizing hormone levels and balancing the glandular
system. Massage also helps relax the nervous system, making
it easier to sleep soundly. Moreover, expectant moms are
positioned on their sides versus the traditional prone
position.
"The great thing about prenatal massage is that you see
different benefits during each trimester," said CG Funk, vice
president of industry relations and product development at Massage
Envy. "From simply relieving headaches and fatigue during the
first trimester to enhancing sleep and reducing edema during the
third trimester, making prenatal massage a part of your wellness
routine is well worth it."
Before beginning a massage therapy program, it's important to
first consult your doctor. Massage Envy offers affordable,
massages at convenient times, including weeknights and weekends.
