Prenatal Massage

The psychosomatic nature of massage therapy is beneficial through all stages of pregnancy. It balances both the body and the emotions, relieves pain and pressure, encourages rest, and helps ensure rapid postnatal recovery.

This massage places a strong focus on the legs and back. Light abdominal massage is optional.

The benefits of massage during pregnancy are improved joint flexibility, relief from cramping and soreness, alleviation of headaches, increased body awareness, reduction of stretch marks, maintained blood pressure and postural reintegration.

Prenatal massage can result in a more positive birth experience, reducing stress, fear and anxiety, and increasing emotional well being.

Sensitive emotional support and proper physical care are important. The reassuring touch of massage lends to relaxation, healing, and preparation for the mother's new role.
