Pregnancy is a wonderful time in a woman’s life; the joys of carrying a child are seemingly endless. It is also a time, however, when a woman must take very careful care of her emotional and physical health in order to protect the health of her baby.
To help you with this our downtown Vancouver clinic is now on the Electra Health Floor where: acupuncture, naturopathy, counselling, rolfing, athletic therapy and many other services are provided. This is in addition to the 7 massage therapists that Everest Therapeutics has.

During tho eventful nine months of pregnancy, a woman needs to ensure that she receives the proper amount of nutrition, rest, and exercise. Lacking in any one of these areas can create harmful effects for mother and child. Unfortunately, some of the discomforts of pregnancy can prevent a woman from meeting her body’s changing needs. This is where using massage therapy can really help.

A difficult balance to achieve when pregnant is a healthy amount of sleep. During pregnancy women require more rest and can often suffer from chronic tiredness. Yet between frequent urination, heartburn, leg cramps, and baby movement many women feel they hardly sleep at all. Working with a registered massage therapist can help you improve your sleep pattern.

Increasing tiredness and being uncomfortable in their changing bodies can sometimes discourage women from exercising. However, there are many benefits to following a pregnancy appropriate exercise program including elevated mood, improved sleep patterns, and maintenance of a healthy weight.

Massage therapy can help pregnant women manage their pregnancy discomforts, rest, and exercise requirements.

Massage therapy also promotes healthy sleeping habits by alleviating anxiety and physical discomfort. Then, once the woman is receiving appropriate amounts sleep, she will be more able to participate in physical exercise. Massage therapy can further increase a woman’s capability to exercise by improving circulation, relieving muscle aches and increasing flexibility.

By utilizing Massage Therapy you will be on your way to ensuring the healthiest and happiest pregnancy possible. This will provide women with easier labour and post natal recovery. This, of course, is in addition to the greatest benefit; a healthier and happier baby.
