Oxenford Mind & Body at Coomera

Throughout the different stages of pregnancy a woman’s body will undergo a number of different changes that strain the musculoskeletal system and demand compensatory changes that may cause discomfort.

A lot of this discomfort is a result of:

• Hormonal changes

• Breast growth

• Emotional change and instability

• Postural change

• Changes in weight and the distribution of the weight

• Loss of joint stability through ligament laxity

• Change in venous return causes swelling and fluid retention

Pregnancy Massage incorporates the understanding and knowledge of the body and an underground understanding about the challenges that pregnancy will provoke on the body.

This style of treatment provides you with an effective and safe way to relieve pain, especially as pregnancy can mean limited treatment options due to the safety of the unborn baby and many portal pain medications that can be dangerous.

A continued treatment plan derived by our range of skilled therapists can both relieve pain and make all of the stages of pregnancy more enjoyable and comfortable.

• Mid back pain along the bra line
