Fantastic Skin Elastic

Massage benefits for relaxation and bonding

Massage can help relieve the aches and pains of pregnancy, which can be brought on by carrying extra weight, having a different posture and the changes in hormone levels.

Bonding with your partner and baby- the importance of touch

Massage – either by yourself or when done with your partner or family member - can promote feelings of love and enhance the bonding process with your unborn baby. Massage stimulates the production of the hormone oxytocin, this hormone is prominent when we are happy, in love and is important during labour, birth and breastfeeding.
