PRENATAL MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
THERAPY IN SINGAPORE

Prenatal Myofascial Release therapy is a specialised form of therapeutic technique tailored specifically to the unique needs of pregnant women. 

Prenatal Myofascial Release: Easing Pregnancy Discomforts

This practice involves gentle, hands-on manipulation and fascia-focused techniques to alleviate pregnancy-related discomforts. Unlike traditional prenatal massage, it focuses on releasing tension in the Fascia, helping to align the posture and balance the pelvis. This contributes to the safety and comfort of both the mother and the baby. Plus, the benefits of prenatal Myofascial Release have been backed by studies, from reducing stress and anxiety to releasing tension in the Fascia. Certified prenatal Myofascial Release therapists in Singapore are trained to address the anatomical and physiological changes that occur during pregnancy, offering effective relief from common discomforts and promoting overall well-being.

Why Choose Prenatal Myofascial Release Therapy?

As the body experiences significant changes during pregnancy, prenatal Myofascial Release provides essential support to both mother and baby. These are some of the benefits pregnant women can experience from prenatal Myofascial Release in Singapore:

1. Prenatal Myofascial Release Techniques Help with Stress and Anxiety

Pregnancy often brings a mix of excitement and stress for women. Prenatal Myofascial Release helps to reduce stress hormones, promoting a state of relaxation and emotional stability. This can be crucial for both maternal and foetal health.

2. Prenatal Myofascial Release Addresses Pregnancy-Related Aches and Pains for Women

As the body adapts to accommodate the growing baby, many pregnant women experience discomfort in their back, hips, and legs. Prenatal Myofascial Release targets the Fascia tissues, improving the overall alignment, pelvis placement and easing muscular and Fascial tension, hence relieving potential joint pain, and sciatic nerve pain.

3. Prenatal Myofascial Release Therapy Can Help with Sleep Quality

Quality sleep can be elusive during pregnancy due to physical discomfort and hormonal changes. Regular sessions of prenatal Myofascial Release contribute to better sleep by reducing tension and promoting relaxation, allowing pregnant women to rest more comfortably.

4. Prenatal Myofascial Release Therapy Enhances Blood Circulation

Improved blood circulation is vital during pregnancy, as it ensures that both the mother and baby receive adequate nutrients and oxygen. Prenatal Myofascial Release stimulates blood flow, reducing swelling and promoting overall cardiovascular health.

5. Prenatal Myofascial Release Therapy Prepares the Body for Labour

Preparing the body for the rigours of labour is a crucial aspect of prenatal care. Getting a prenatal Myofascial Release in Singapore helps to realign your posture to ease discomfort, balance the pelvis and sacroiliac joints, and psoas muscles, and reduce tension, thereby facilitating smoother birth.

6. Prenatal Myofascial Release Therapy Can Enhance Mobility and Posture

Myofascial Release techniques not only improve mobility and flexibility but also aid in maintaining proper posture and movement as the body adapts to pregnancy changes

Prenatal Myofascial Release

What to Expect During Your Session

Initial Consultation to Understand Your Needs

Before your prenatal Myofascial Release session in Singapore begins, there is an initial consultation with the Myofascial Release therapist. This step is essential for gathering important information about your medical history, the stage of pregnancy, postural alignment assessment and any specific concerns or discomforts. It also ensures that the Myofascial Release therapy session is tailored to every pregnant woman’s unique needs and preferences.

Customised Myofascial Release Therapy Session

The Myofascial Release session is customised based on the information gathered during the initial consultation. Common positions for prenatal Myofascial Release therapy include side-lying with pillows for support, semi-reclining, or using a specially designed pregnancy massage table with a cutout for the belly. Our therapists employ specific Myofascial Release techniques to address specific areas of tension or discomfort or tensed alignment. 

Post-Myofascial Release Care Tips

After the session, the prenatal Myofascial Release therapist will provide post-Myofascial Release care tips to help prolong the benefits of the session. Some of these after-care tips for pregnant women may include:

  • Staying Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins released during the massage and to stay hydrated, which is especially important during pregnancy.
  • Relax and Stretch: Engage in gentle stretching exercises and relaxation techniques to maintain the benefits of the massage. Consider practising breathing exercises and using a birthing ball for relaxation.
  • Monitor Energy Levels: Listen to your body and rest if you feel tired. It is normal to feel more relaxed and possibly sleepy after a massage.
  • Better Posture: Improve posture by addressing potential root causes like slouching or carrying bags on one side.
