Receiving treatments throughout pregnancy can bring both relief and support to a growing uterus, as well as other discomforts sometimes experienced throughout the different trimesters. The massage ensures the uterus regains and/or maintains a normal centred position. This prevents fluid congestion by allowing lymph vessels to properly drain out of the pelvic bowl. MAT addresses common symptoms during pregnancy resulting from a displaced uterus, which includes:
- Leg discomfort
- Varicose Veins
- Numbness or tingling hip to toe
- Low back discomfort and sciatic pain
- Headaches
- Frequent urination
- Constipation and generalised discomfort
Upper abdominal work is performed to help prevent heartburn and indigestion. By promoting circulation with MAT, the abdominal muscles are relaxed and strengthened. These are the muscles that will be called into service to assist in giving birth.
MAT is not recommended before 20 weeks of pregnancy.
