Pre-natal massage is therapy designed to meet the needs of the expectant mother and alleviate aches and pains associated with pregnancy. Pre-natal massage is usually begun in the second or third trimester. You will be comfortably positioned on your side, supported by pillows, or you can lie on your belly with the aid of a specially designed pregnancy massage pillow. Care is taken to provide you with a quiet, serene atmosphere where you can be comfortable and feel nurtured. Our goal is to bring relief to you during this transition as well as cultivate the life within you.
Some common issues associated with pregnancy that massage can alleviate are:
•low back, neck, or shoulder pain associated with postural changes
•stress on weight-bearing joints
•digestion difficulties
•swelling due to compromised circulation
•fatigue
•hip or sciatic pain
•insomnia and anxiety
•headaches
Doing something for yourself during pregnancy is a wonderful way to cope with the sudden changes your body is experiencing. Massage is also an excellent way to bring your body back into balance after the baby is born and prepare it for the exciting journey of motherhood. |
