Prenatal Massage Therapy
Pregnancy induces a range of profound physical, emotional, and mental transformations in a woman’s body. These changes can be both exciting and challenging as the body adapts to the developing baby. Understanding and addressing the evolving needs during this time can significantly enhance comfort and well-being.
Prenatal Massage Therapy
Many expectant mothers find that prenatal massage therapy is a valuable tool for managing the physical and emotional challenges of pregnancy. Clients have shared how beneficial our treatments are in alleviating common discomforts, including:
- Easing tension and promoting relaxation
- Enhancing energy levels
- Reducing swelling and fluid retention
- Alleviating lower back pain
- Relieving pressure in the body
- Managing stress and anxiety
- Reducing the frequency and severity of headaches
- Improving sleep quality
- Reducing joint pain
Before starting any treatment, we prioritize understanding your unique needs. When you first come in for a session, we will collect your complete medical history, including any other conditions outside of pregnancy. This allows us to ensure that your massage is both safe and tailored to your specific requirements. During this time, we’ll also talk about what you hope to achieve with prenatal massage.
Prenatal massage can be beneficial at any stage of pregnancy, and we adjust the session to fit your comfort and health needs. If you have any health concerns, let us know so we can adapt the treatment to ensure the best care for both you and your baby.
For your comfort, we use special pillows, cushions, and padding to support you throughout the session. Depending on how far along you are in your pregnancy, we may use a semi-reclined or side-lying position to help you relax.
What you can expect from a session:
As pregnancy progresses, tight muscles in the legs, hips, and lower back can cause discomfort and inflammation, especially around the sciatic nerve. A gentle massage helps increase circulation, relieve muscle tightness, and reduce swelling. Additionally, this treatment helps lower stress hormones, while increasing mood-boosting hormones like serotonin and dopamine.
Prenatal massage also supports your posture and helps your body adjust to the changes in alignment that come with pregnancy. It can help keep muscles flexible and toned, while also making the skin and tissues more pliable, helping you feel more comfortable as your body adapts.
