Prenatal Massage

What is Prenatal Massage?

Prenatal Massage is for women in their second and third trimester of pregnancy. A Prenatal Massage does everything that a regular massage would do: relax tense muscles, improve circulation and mobility and bring a sense of overall well-being.

A Prenatal Massage is tailored to the needs of pregnant women and their changing bodies. The Therapists who are trained in Prenatal Massage adjust their techniques to meet the needs of their pregnant clients accordingly.


How can Prenatal Massage help me?

When pregnant, carrying a baby changes your center of gravity, causing stress in your muscles, joints, shoulders and particularly in your lower back. Pregnancy also relaxes your ligaments, causing your pelvic joints to be less stable, changing your posture and pulling your pelvis forward. The extra weight of your baby, along with an unstable pelvis, and you’ve got yourself an aching lower back.


A trained Body Worker will know where an expecting client’s pain and sore spots are likely to appear and may be able to provide some relief. But don't forget to communicate with your Therapist to let them know where you need attention.
