Reduce swelling and fluid retention during pregnancy with pregnancy myotherapy. Discover how this safe and effective massage therapy can ease discomfort naturally.
As a myotherapist working at Mornington Peninsula Myotherapy and Massage, I often see pregnant women experiencing a variety of uncomfortable symptoms. These include swelling in their ankles, feet, and legs. While swelling during pregnancy is common, it can be quite uncomfortable and even painful. This is where pregnancy myotherapy can be helpful.
Pregnancy myotherapy is a form of massage therapy that is specifically designed for pregnant women. It uses a combination of techniques including deep tissue massage, stretching and myofascial release to help alleviate pregnancy-related discomfort and promote relaxation.
One of the ways pregnancy myotherapy can help reduce swelling is by improving circulation. During pregnancy, the body produces extra blood and fluids to support the growing foetus, which can lead to swelling. By increasing circulation through massage, pregnancy myotherapy can help reduce fluid retention and relieve discomfort.
Another way pregnancy myotherapy can help reduce swelling is by promoting lymphatic drainage. The lymphatic system is responsible for removing excess fluid from the body, but it can become overwhelmed during pregnancy. Myotherapy techniques, such as lymphatic drainage massage, can help stimulate the lymphatic system and promote fluid removal, reducing swelling and discomfort.
In addition to reducing swelling, pregnancy myotherapy can also help improve overall circulation, reduce muscle tension, and promote relaxation. It can even help improve sleep quality and reduce stress and anxiety during pregnancy.
If you're experiencing swelling during pregnancy, I highly recommend trying pregnancy myotherapy. It's a safe and effective way to reduce discomfort and promote relaxation during this exciting but sometimes uncomfortable time.
