Experience the Emotional and Physical Benefits of Massage Therapy During Pregnancy at Alive and Well Massage Therapy Clinic
At Alive and Well Massage Therapy Clinic, we believe that massage therapy is not only beneficial for physical relief but also has profound emotional and mental benefits, especially during pregnancy. Since 1999, our clinic in Kamloops has been committed to offering high-quality care with experienced, Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) who are recognized health professionals under the Canada Health Act.
The Power of Massage During Pregnancy
Studies conducted by Tiffany Field and the Touch Research Institute show that regular massage during pregnancy can significantly reduce stress hormones in women. This doesn’t just affect the mother—it benefits the baby too. Infants born to women who received massage therapy during pregnancy had lower levels of stress hormones compared to babies from non-massaged mothers.
In addition to lowering stress levels, regular massage during pregnancy has been shown to:
Reduce fear and anxiety
Enhance the immune response
Promote relaxation, leading to shorter labours
Decrease prenatal and labour complications
Comfort and Safety You Can Trust
Your comfort and safety are our top priorities. At Alive and Well, we use a bodyCushion™ support pillow, designed specifically to accommodate pregnant women. This ensures a safe, comfortable, and effective massage experience that provides the necessary back support while alleviating pressure on the stomach.
To make sure the bodyCushion™ is available, be sure to mention it when you book your appointment.
