Benefits of Pregnancy, Labor and Postpartum Massage
There is no population that undergoes greater transformation of the
human body than pregnant women. Structurally, physiologically, and
chemically, a pregnant woman experiences innumerable changes which
place great stress on her body. As her weight shifts forward due to
enlargement of the uterus and breasts, additional tension is created in
the muscles of the shoulder girdle, lower back, pelvis, abdomen and
legs. Stress on the weight bearing joints, particularly of the low back
and hips can generate substantial discomfort. The circulatory system
increases its blood volume 30 to 50% by the third trimester, often
resulting in edema (swelling of the legs and ankles). All other systems
also adapt to support the pregnancy. More
