For ages, massages have been recognized by the medical industry as an important tool to reduce stress, improve overall health, and relieve muscular tension. The therapeutic motion of the hands and fingers can work magic on the body and induce the “feel good feeling” along with many health benefits if regularly undertaken.
The medical world constantly assesses and researches massage therapy and different relaxation techniques and their benefits to help people enjoy life and experience a state of wellbeing. Ideal Wellness has qualified therapists who are trained to impart various massage therapies, such as:
1) Prenatal massage: research confirms prenatal massage therapy works excellently on the mother’s body and helps her relax and de-stress. Pregnancy is an anxious period where the pregnant person often complains of joint pains, muscular aches, anxiety, stressed moods and many other discomforting moments. The mother constantly worries about her newborn baby’s health and the outcome of labor. Her awkward postures and heavy weight lead to unexplained discomfort.
Findings of medical researchers agree that the relaxing kneading and pressing techniques used during a prenatal massage can:
• Reduce stress
• Improve blood circulation
• Control blood pressure
• Improve lymphatic circulation
• Reduce aches and pains.
• Decrease postural discomforts
• Regulate the hormones
Our prenatal massage therapy induces relaxation and can be an integral part of every woman’s prenatal care. Improved cardiovascular health, mood regulation, reduced stress and tension, and increased blood flow, are important reasons to include this massage in prenatal care.
Reduction in oedema and lymphatic drainage:
Ideal Wellness offers excellent prenatal massage therapy in North Palm Beach and can provide this therapy to improve various health benefits for the mother and unborn child. Medical evidence strongly suggests that the newborn and mother benefit from prenatal massages.
Moreover, reduced circulation of blood during pregnancy due to a heavy uterus and extra pressure on the blood vessels often leads to oedema around the joint region. The relaxing massage reduces fluid accumulation, removes toxins, and improves lymphatic drainage.
Nerve pain:
Nerve pain is common during late pregnancy. The heavy uterus starts to put pressure on the lower part of the body and stresses the muscles and tissues in the upper and lower legs. The constant tension leads to the pressing of certain nerves in the underlying region, causing discomfort and pain to the expectant mother.
Massage therapy provided by the trained team at Ideal Wellness offers great relief to the pregnant mother. The rhythmic movement of the hands, fingers, and tools on the body improves the oxygen supply to the muscles and soft tissues, thus relieving back strain, aches, and pains in different parts of the body.
Headache relief:
Pregnant mothers often complain of muscular tension and pain in their scalp region. Our therapists manipulate the head, temples, scalp, shoulders and neck to relieve the muscular tension and pain. This also helps reduce the stress and anxiety due to physical and mental discomfort.
Our therapists are very careful and knowledgeable professionals. We’re well informed as to the best positions the pregnant mother needs to take during the massage therapy sessions. We carefully guard the baby bump with a plump pillow and make sure the mother is “side-lying” so that the unborn child stays protected, and there is no undue pressure on the abdomen. The mother is made to lie comfortably so that the uterine ligaments are not unduly stretched and the placement is comfortable.
Precautions:
The health of the mother and child is very important to us. Thus, we avoid massaging in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy to protect the wellbeing of the mother and unborn child. Ideal wellness is always in tune with the latest advancements in prenatal massages.
Our qualified team created a well-designed, safe, therapeutic prenatal massage therapy after the first trimester. The other massage therapy techniques offered by our therapists to relax and heal the body at Ideal Wellness:
2) Deep tissue massage/sports massage: this type of massage therapy is often recommended for people who over-exert, sportspeople, and athletes who often complain of aches and pains, impact injuries, and strain in the muscles and tissues. Deep kneading of the body with the rhythmic movements by our therapists helps improve flexibility, heal old injuries, remove knots and adhesions, increase the range of motion, and improve overall stamina and posture.
3) Swedish massage therapy: Swedish massage therapy is one of the most popular massage therapies worldwide. The strokes in this massage technique are similar to the deep tissue technique but are lighter and meant to relax the body.
4) Neuromuscular massage/myofascial releases: This kind of massage technique is commonly called trigger point therapy and provides relief in chronic pain, poor posture and imbalance in the body
5) Headache relief massage: life is full of stresses and strains, reading to common complaints of forehead pain, pressure on the neck and shoulders, and head and scalp pain. Our therapists manipulate the shoulders, neck, head, temples, and scalp to provide relief.
6) Integrative massage: Sometimes, a single massage therapy may not provide great relief. At times like this, therapists working at Ideal Wellness creatively use an integrative massage technique combining different massages to relieve chronic pain and stress in the body.
