Prenatal Massage

Prenatal massage is a specialized type of therapeutic massage designed specifically for pregnant women. It is used to alleviate common pregnancy discomforts and promote mother and baby’s well-being. Prenatal massage therapists are trained in specific techniques and safety considerations such as appropriate positioning for the mother’s comfort and safety, areas of the body to avoid, and pressure points that can stimulate pelvic muscles, including the uterus. This massage can help reduce stress, improve circulation, relieve pain in the muscles and joints, reduce swelling, and improve sleep. It is often integrated into prenatal care routines, but a healthcare provider’s approval should be obtained before beginning any new therapeutic practice.
