Why Radu Period Massage is Good for Menstrual Cramps

You Might Ask Yourself - What Is A Pregnancy Massage?

Are you pregnant right now? First up – CONGRATULATIONS!

In case you are currently expecting a baby you may think of massage as a luxury that would be great to have to relieve some of the discomfort and tension you are feeling at this time, and to help you switch off and rest just a little, at least for an hour or so!

But – at the same time you might be very worried whether it is good for you, and even more importantly, you may be asking yourself - is it safe for the baby?

You will be very pleased to discover it may be one of the most beneficial times for both of you during your pregnancy.

Any therapeutic massage during or after pregnancy (prenatal or postnatal massage) is considered a Pregnancy Massage.

A good pregnancy therapeutic massage typically lasts an hour to 90 minutes.

Any shorter time periods will not really provide you with the complete benefit of the massage, simply because it will take you quite a while to completely unwind, and more importantly – for your body to begin producing and releasing those fantastic happy and stress release hormones you are so desperately after.

Your safety, comfort and convenience is my number one priority; so whatever can help you and avoids any discomfort is definitely provided.

Typically, my ladies lay on their side, because this may help especially throughout the later stages of pregnancy. In fact, you will find that lying on your side is often the most comfortable position.

What Are The Advantages of Pregnancy Massage?

Only a handful of research papers have ever focused on massage in pregnancy, nevertheless one analysis at the University of Miami School of Medicine in the US suggests that massage therapy might have a number of positive effects for you, and they include:

• significantly      reduce any anxiousness you could possibly feel
• reduced      back, shoulder, neck and leg soreness
• a lot      more calmness and improved sleep through the night
• markedly      decreased levels of the stress hormone norepinephrine

There is another body of research of pregnancy massage in woman who suffered from the impact of depressive disorders during their pregnancy, and this is what the researchers identified:

• significantly      improved levels of the feel-good hormones serotonin and also dopamine,      which are commonly called the happy-hormones
• lowered      amounts of cortisol, which we know is an obvious sign of stress and      anxiety
• and      most importantly-  a comprehensive      improvement in the pregnant women’s mood

Plenty of research has shown that, for most women, massage has numerous health benefits.

For most women it helps reduce or lessen pain, and it might potentially enhance the immune system simply because it reduces stress which we all know weakens your immune system.

I trust you found this info on pregnancy massage useful. You certainly are now in a significantly better position to decide if this for you or not.

Most pregnant woman experience some muscle tension that they aren’t used to dealing with and it could be very uncomfortable during your pregnancy.

When it comes to the type of technique that is used during a pregnancy massage there are a number of different types. Some common massage techniques for pregnancy are Swedish massage, shiatsu, hot stone massage, or deep tissue massage.

In addition, there are other techniques that can be used, including Thai massage, reflexology, deep tissue massage, aromatherapy, and acupressure, so it is important that you choose the right massage for you.

Some therapists use firm strokes, fast movements, deep pressure points, circular movements, kneading, stretching or squeezing, depending on the massage therapy type they learned and use on you.

I strongly believe the pregnancy massage you receive should be gentle and relaxing, so that you do not become stressed out, or even irritated.

Studying the best pregnancy massage styles, I have learned with different practitioners and schools both here and overseas.

As a result of my study and research I have developed a highly specialised technique I call ‘Radu Pregnancy Massage’.

I developed this new technique because I believe each woman is entirely unique when it comes to her body's sensitivity in pregnancy.

The best type of pregnancy massage therapy that you receive should depend on your individual situation. For example, most of my pregnant women clients prefer soft strokes and gentle pressure - over the harsher methods listed previously.

My clients are definitely not interested to have their bodies kneaded, squeezed, poked, prodded, stretched or pushed hard when they are so highly sensitive to touch and feel because of their hormonal changes that come with pregnancy.

When you come to my studio I make sure I am familiar with your particular needs so that you can receive the best pregnancy massage possible. If you have any questions or concerns about your pregnancy massage, do not hesitate to ask me and I will address any of your concerns.

Unfortunately, you cannot avoid the monthly period. Your skin may be irritated and prone to pimples. Your breasts are tense; your legs are heavy. You have cramps in your stomach, headache and tiredness are often accompanied by nausea.

But not only your body suffers from the complaints of the period, your mind and soul has to go through a lot too, because depressive moods, irritability and sadness are common menstrual problems.

The menstrual cycle is a real torture for some women. I’m going to share what you need to know about PMS, pain during menstruation and other ailments. And I also have a few tips on what you can do about it.

Reduce the Stress in your life!

Mental stress is proven to be one of the greatest causes of physical illness. Stress makes us weak, fragile and significantly more sensitive to pain. So try to keep your personal stress level, before and during your menstrual period, as low as possible. Only you know how to do it best.

Whether you maintain your mental balance through sport, or maybe through meditation, alternative weekend activities or you need some soothing, relaxing music every now and then to calm down: What is good for your soul is also good for your body. So: treat yourself to some TLC (tender loving care)!

Stress, lack of sleep, an unhealthy diet and a lack of physical exercise are often to blame for the symptoms being even worse than they already are. Stress of any kind not only makes your body more sensitive to pain, but also more prone to it.

But that also has a positive side: namely that your body can also become stronger and more resistant with a little care. Menstrual cramps cannot be completely prevented, but they can be alleviated and managed well with a few simple strategies. You find a lot more details on various tips to help you with ways to ease period pain in my presentations on my website.

Up to 90% of adolescent girls and women during their physically fertile period suffer from cramp-like abdominal pain (primary dysmenorrhea) shortly before and or during their menstrual period.

The severity of the complaints ranges from a slight discomfort in the abdominal region to severe pain, which often force the women affected to stay away from work or school.

For this reason, scientists examined the effects of a weekly rhythmic massage in comparison with heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback therapy or standard treatment.

The specialised massage developed in the 1920s by the anthroposophist doctor Ita Wegman is derived from the classic Swedish massage, but in comparison with this it is more characterized by specific rhythms and circular massage movements.

This special form of massage should not only address physical complaints, it should also have positive effects on the mood and the self-healing powers of the person being treated.
