Research-Backed Benefits:
The science behind pregnancy massage is compelling. Studies conducted over the past two decades have consistently shown the advantages of massage therapy for expectant mothers.
In a 1999 study published in the Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics & Gynecology, women who received massage twice weekly for five weeks reported reduced anxiety, improved mood, better sleep, and less back pain.
In 2006, the Scandinavian Journal of Caring Sciences found that massage was a valuable integrative treatment for severe pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting.
A 2009 study in the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies revealed that pregnant women diagnosed with depression experienced greater drops in depression when receiving psychotherapy combined with massage.
Moreover, a 2009 study in Infant Behavior & Development indicated that massage therapy not only reduced depression symptoms during pregnancy but also provided lasting benefits into the postpartum period.
A 2010 literature review in Expert Reviews in Obstetrics and Gynecology demonstrated that massage therapy significantly decreased depression, anxiety, leg and back pain in pregnant women. Additionally, laboring women required less pain medication and experienced shorter labor durations.
Furthermore, clinical trials have shown that infants born to mothers who received massage therapy had improved neonatal outcomes, lower cortisol levels, and fewer instances of low birth weight and prematurity.
