Fertility massage is a special type of massage tailored specifically for women who are trying to conceive. It helps to prepare and support the mind and body for conception, and to offer emotional support for the sometimes frustrating process. Pregnancy massage is specifically designed for the conditions and discomforts the pregnant woman faces. It helps to alleviate low back pain, hip pain, edema, nausea, heartburn and other symptoms associated with pregnancy. It is an excellent way to nurture the mom-to-be. Postpartum massage can help to relax and de-stress the body after giving birth. The new mother may even stay at home if she prefers; Creation Therapeutics offers house calls for postpartum sessions. Infant massage soothes and relaxes and provides your baby with tactile stimulation and sensory information in the form of therapeutic touch. Infant massage has been shown to increase weight gain in low birth weight and premature infants, decrease digestive problems such as colic and diarrhea, and promote increased learning ability and faster development.
In general, massage is a wonderful therapy for relaxation, pain relief, stress reduction and emotional support. It boosts the immune system, increases circulation of blood and lymph fluid, relaxes and calms both mind and body. Triangle Acupuncture Clinic is pleased to offer the services of Creation Therapeutics to the Chapel Hill community.
