Relax and Rejuvenate with Prenatal Massage Therapy

Therapeutic Massage During Pregnancy at Forty Weeks

Massage therapy stands as one of the most ancient, trusted, and natural forms of healing. During pregnancy, massage offers profound benefits, combining therapeutic, remedial, and relaxation techniques to soothe the mind and body. By transforming rapid, shallow breathing into deep, effective breaths, massage alleviates mental, emotional, and physical fatigue—an essential practice for expectant mothers.

Integrated Aromatherapy in Massage

At Forty Weeks, massage often incorporates the holistic benefits of aromatherapy. Using concentrated plant oils, aromatherapy enhances the massage experience, channelling the healing properties of the oils through the lungs and bloodstream to achieve targeted physical and emotional relief.

The Power of Antenatal Massage

Regular antenatal massage with aromatherapy not only eases labour pain but also plays a significant role in balancing hormones:

Reduces stress hormones: Promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety through calming massage techniques.

Increases birth hormones: Facilitating a smoother labour experience by enhancing natural hormonal flows.

As a practising midwife, I witness the impact of therapeutic massage every day across all stages of maternity—from prenatal care to labour and postnatal recovery. Many maternity units now recognize the value of incorporating aromatherapy into childbirth services, acknowledging its effectiveness and safety when conducted by qualified practitioners.
