The Benefits of Pregnancy Massage

Improve Sleep

Another health benefit of pregnancy massage is to improve the quality of sleep. Deep tissue massage can be effective in increasing the production of serotonin and melatonin. Two substances play an important role in regulating sleep rhythms. When you receive a massage regularly, it can be much easier to fall asleep at night. The duration and quality of sleep can also be improved. This effect is especially important for pregnant women with insomnia. A lack of sleep can affect overall well-being, which subsequently diminishes the development of the fetus. [4]
