Why Every Expectant Mother Needs Massage Support
Pregnancy places extraordinary demands on a woman's body, with physical changes occurring daily throughout the 40-week journey. Without proper support, these changes can lead to chronic pain, poor sleep, anxiety, and complications during labour.
How Massage Supports the Pregnant Body:
As the baby grows, a woman's centre of gravity shifts, placing strain on the lower back, pelvis, and legs. The hormone relaxin softens ligaments, making joints less stable. Blood volume increases by 50%, placing extra demands on the circulatory system and often leading to swelling, fatigue, and discomfort. Massage addresses each of these challenges systematically.
Traditional pregnancy massage often follows generic relaxation techniques that barely scratch the surface of what's possible. Cloud Nine has developed the UK's most advanced pregnancy massage protocols, specifically designed to address the complex physiological changes of each trimester.
Our revolutionary treatment sequences don't just provide temporary relief—they actively support the body's adaptation to pregnancy, reducing complications and enhancing the entire pregnancy experience.
The Essential Benefits:
Pain Relief: Reduces back pain (experienced by 80% of pregnant women), sciatica, and round ligament pain
Circulation Support: Improves blood flow, reducing oedema and preventing blood clots
Hormonal Balance: Increases serotonin and dopamine whilst reducing cortisol and noradrenaline
Sleep Improvement: Relaxes tense muscles and calms the nervous system for better rest
Labour Preparation: Regular massage can reduce labour time and decrease the need for pain medication
Emotional Wellbeing: Provides crucial emotional support during this vulnerable time
