Prenatal Massage

Prenatal massage is a type that’s similar to regular massage – it aims to relax tense muscles, ease sore spots, improve circulation and mobility, and just make you feel good. But prenatal massage is also customized to the needs of pregnant women and their changing bodies, and therapists trained in prenatal massage adjust their techniques accordingly.

Carrying a baby inside you changes your center of gravity and puts a lot of stress on your back, neck, abdominal muscles, and shoulders. Pregnancy also relaxes your ligaments, meaning your pelvic joints are less stable, and it also changes your posture, pulling your pelvis forward. Add to that the extra weight you’re carrying and you may end up with an aching lower back.

I am experienced in finding your sore and swollen spots and may be able to provide some relief.

Benefits of prenatal massage

• • Improve mood and lower stress levels
  • Reduce prenatal depression and anxiety
  • Lower the risk of preterm birth and low birth weight in infants of women with prenatal depression
  • Reduce swelling in the legs (after foot massage)

Getting a prenatal massage can also put you in a more relaxed state of mind to help you cope with all the big changes that are going on in your life.

Session times include 5 minute consultation and 5 minutes for changing.
