You Don't Need Your Knots -- We Knead Your Knots
Stretch marks are
scars and occur after the skin is stretched out a lot in a short period
of time by rupturing collagen in the skin. Stretch marks mostly develop
around the stomach, upper arms, and hips, but they can occur anywhere
the skin is affected. Stretch marks fade over time but the earlier you
treat stretch marks, the less noticeable they may be. There is nothing
proven yet to prevent stretch marks, but moisturizing stretching skin
makes sense.
In addition to the massage, Mary Li at Oriental Massage Therapy
Galway uses special oils with herbs and a combination of essential oils
and lotions that are known to reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
The increase in blood flow, as well as the physical nature of the
massage, can help reduce the appearance of surface skin imperfections by
helping the body heal itself. It can also relax sore muscles such as the
back and feet that are greatly affected by an increase in weight from
being pregnant.
