Pregnancy Massage Therapy

Pregnancy Massage is therapeutic bodywork that focuses on the special needs of the mother-to-be as her body goes through the dramatic changes of pregnancy. Pregnancy massage often uses a combination of Swedish massage & Reflexology and can be one-hour or 90 minutes in length.

While a woman is pregnant, the demands placed on her body are great and dramatically ever changing. Pregnancy Massage is a safe, nurturing and effective way to reduce many of the adverse results of stress and the accompanying discomforts. Pregnancy Massage provides general relaxation, as well as, relief from some of the most common discomforts of pregnancy: abdominal pressure, allergies and sinus congestion, backaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, leg cramps, constipation, heartburn, edema, fatigue, headaches, insomnia, morning sickness, nausea, and sciatica.

Massage is recommended for all stages of a normal pregnancy and is most beneficial when received on a regular basis. Typically an expectant mom receives her massages on the same time table as her prenatal visits. For example: during the first trimester once a month is perfect, during the second trimester every two weeks, and once a week during the third trimester. Regular visits ensures the expectant mom is taking time for herself to relax and unwind, as well as, address any muscular discomforts she is experiencing during that stage of her pregnancy.
