Treatment during pregnancy is more than just feel good healthcare. Your body goes through dramatic physical and chemical changes that can increase the risk of musculoskeletal dysfunction. Regular treatments will help improve your energy levels.
At painPRO we focus on your special needs. As your body goes through dramatic changes, massage can help to alleviate the discomforts that may arise during your pregnancy.
Symptoms of Pregnancy Pain
- Muscle pain
- Joint Pain
- Emotional Unrest
- Fatigue
Causes
- Postural stresses
- Extra weight
- Hormonal changes
- Stress
As your baby (and abdomen) grows, rapid weight gain causes a shift in your center of gravity; your posture changes as the curve of your lower back increases and your knees rotate outwards. These changes put extra strain on the muscles of the hips and lower back. As a result, pain tends to develop in the muscles of the neck and back and in the load-bearing joints in the hips.
Solutions
- Orthopeadic Assessment
- Neurological Assessment
- Targeted Manual Therapy
- Regular Exercise
Massage Therapy, Physiotherapy, and Chiropractic care enhances the function of muscles and joints. The result is improved circulation and general body tone in addition to a decrease of the aches and pains brought on by pregnancy.
In addition to the above benefits, studies have also credited prenatal massage with relief from fatigue, leg pain and cramps, constipation, nausea and indigestion. It also helps keep skin supple to help prevent stretch marks, strengthens muscles in preparation for labor and delivery, helps control blood pressure, allows for deeper breathing, enhances self-image, and strengthens the immune system.
