Tip #12 - The Benefits of Massage

Moms to be: You are sore, tired and swollen, what could be more relaxing then a massage?

Besides the relaxing psychological nature of a massage, your whole body will benefit. Massage can help alleviate common discomforts of pregnancy such as backaches, carpal-tunnel syndrome, leg cramps and shakes, headaches, fatigue, hemorrhoids, nasal congestion, sciatica and shortness of breath along with improving circulation and aiding lymphatic flow.

Massage is also VERY useful during labor, too!

New Mammas: Countless diaper changes and hours of feeding your baby can reek havoc on your body.

A postpartum massage can help rejuvenate not just your spirit but your body too. Some of the benefits of a postpartum massage are promote blood circulation, eliminate toxins through the lymphatic system, improves muscle tone, improve sleep and remove stress and eases muscle aches and pain.

Doesn't a mom need a little pampering too!?
