Pregnancy Induction Massage
What is Pregnancy Induction Massage?
A pregnancy induction massage is a light to medium massage technique used on the mid back and extremities from 38 weeks onward to prepare your body for onset of labour. The induction points located by your therapist during the massage will help your body ready itself for Labour, while easing pain. Potentially assisting in the enhancement of hormones that naturally occur to promote labour.
How will it help me?
Pregnancy Induction Massage works by:
-
- Decreasing your body’s stress hormones (cortisol and adrenaline).
- Increasing production of oxytocin, the ‘happy’ hormone released when you’re feeling loved up, ready to birth to your baby, when bonding with your baby and breastfeeding.
- Stimulating acupressure points that encourage your baby into position, dilation of your cervix and uterine contractions.
A Pregnancy Induction Massage is a gentle and non-invasive way to prepare your mind and body for labour and birth. It can be an essential part of your birth preparation. It addresses issues that can prevent your baby from getting into the optimal position for birth. As your body releases muscle tension, it creates space for your baby to move down into your pelvis, rotate or move from breech, posterior, or other less optimal positions for birth.
