Benefits of Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy massages are focused to relieve everyday symptoms of pregnancy. It is best to discuss the symptoms the pregnant woman is experiencing so that the therapist focuses on those specific parts to eliminate them. Here are a few of the many benefits of pregnancy massages:

Pregnancy massage can ease headaches by focusing on the shoulders, neck and head. Additionally, the optimal stress relief level maintained through the massage decreases the chance of experiencing tension headaches or migraines by relaxing muscle spasms and trigger points.
Carrying the baby’s weight creates muscle tension that can be relieved by enhancing the flow of blood to the afflicted areas. Through this, nutrient-rich oxygen is provided and it also enhances the lymphatic fluid flow which flushes away the metabolic waste and toxins.
Edema/swelling, leg cramps, backaches and fatigue are relieved with the help of massages during pregnancy.
The typical pains and aches of pregnancy are reduced with serotonin release which is a natural healing chemical of the body and is stimulated through a massage.

Pregnancy massage will enable a pregnant woman to sleep peacefully at night during and even after pregnancy. Through regular massage, discomfort and anxiety is decreased and relaxation is increased. This improves the sleeping pattern of the expectant mother. Additionally, the dopamine, endorphins and serotonin released due to massages offer additional help in the overall well being of a pregnant woman.

Reviews From Our Clients

Months after recovering from Glandular Fever, I still felt like I had no energy, was constantly tired, had stomach issues and continually struggled to get out of bed. Dr did not find anything in my blood work after many visits, but I knew I was not well. Eventually I tracked down this clinic and had consultations with Craig Baron. Craig was absolutely amazing and really seeks a holistic approach. He builds a profile of your health issues and spends time getting to understand your mental wellbeing. Craig recommended some remedies and a change in my diet. Since visiting him, I have felt so much better, I have been able to get back to the gym and I finally have energy to do things. Thank you Craig for helping me feel like myself again!

The staff are friendly and welcoming. I have been seeing Fiona on a regular basis and I know when I go I don’t have to say anything to her about any pain or stiffness as she finds my problem spots even the ones I didn’t know I had. Fiona always provides information on how to help get things back in track. I recommend Fiona to anyone who needs a massage to assist with any tightness, pain or injury.

I still have work to do but it is great to know that I have a practitioner I can count on who will spend time talking things through, and consider all possibilities. We are all unique and our health issues can be complex, so it’s important to have someone you can trust to help you work things out and get to the causes. My whole family Now attends the clinic. I would highly recommend them if you are serious about feeling your best self.

I booked into the Livewell Clinic in desperation after spending seven months and thousands of dollars seeing GPs and Specialists who couldn't help me. I started having these weird episodes where I would get terrible nausea and dejavu and felt like I was about to have a fit. Heart and brain scans were clear so I was referred to a neurologist. After heaps more tests they told me my symptoms were similar to Epileptic Aura but they couldn't treat me because the scans were clear. They told me to try and de-stress and they would continue to monitor me. When the episodes got worse, a friend recommended I try a naturopath and so I googled and found Craig. He has been amazing at treating my "excitable nervous system". I like how he explains the science behind things and is very knowledgeable. I have been seeing him for less than a month but my episodes have reduced and I feel much better. It's only early days but I have noticed my heart is not racing as much, I'm calmer and have more energy. I have never tried alternate medicine before, or posted a review of a service, but decided to post this because it might help someone else going through a similar thing.

Rosemary O.

Trudy is wonderful! She shows genuine care and interest in my goals - and is realistic and practical. I feel really comfortable with her which means I can be totally open (about going off the rails with my nutrition!). She also has a great sense of humor and is incredibly knowledgeable. All of the team I’ve had encountered are also lovely. I initially came to the clinic because of the online booking function but Trudy is what keeps me coming back!

Katie H.

Kat was wonderful. She is very knowledgeable & made me feel very comfortable with a not so comfortable issue. I would highly recommend Brisbane Livewell clinic :)

Suzie B.

I feel that the attention to details surrounding my food issues is being carefully considered before pointing fingers at any particular food. The new larger range food intolerance test I did, the last one was 8 years ago, opened my eyes to how far the research and accuracy of these tests has come along. Looking forward to eating without guessing!

Michael B.

I can recommend Craig Baron as a naturopath who takes time to understand your needs and lifestyle and gives easy to folllow, realistic plans.

Joanne W.

I could not love this place anymore than I do! It’s physically not possible!!! I love the energy right from when I walk in the door. The staff are SO helpful, understanding and non judgemental no matter what you’re session is for. I still get super excited for my appointment. Thanks for all your hard work!

Tayla W.

After being dismissed by an Endocrinologist with my rT3 results and telling me it’s a “naturopath thing” - well, it made perfect sense to me to see a naturopath AND I’m glad I did. My partner even commented when I got home because he could see how totally deflated I was when I got home from the appt with the so called specialist over a week ago. He said to me yesterday - well that must of gone well because you have a smile on your face......I’m looking forward to feeling better once my levels get back to normal. Thank you Katarina !
