Massage and Pregnancy, Therapeutic Prenatal Massage

A Natural Therapy

Therapeutic Prenatal massage is a natural therapy designed to help alleviate stress, improve circulation, relieve muscle aches, and improve overall health during pregnancy.  Pregnancy massage by a certified prenatal massage therapist can be an effective addition to a doctor’s prenatal care.  Pregnancy is a time of dramatic changes in a woman’s body, often resulting in discomfort, fatigue and stress.  Prenatal massage provides numerous benefits both physically and emotionally during this important time.

Certified, Experienced Therapists

Our experienced prenatal massage therapists use techniques that are safe for pregnant women, while providing relief from uncomfortable conditions.  Pregnancy massage therapy can actually lead to reduced levels of stress hormones in the body, resulting in improved mood and cardiovascular health. These positive hormonal changes can also result in fewer complications during labor and delivery.

Feel Better Physically

Many women experience sciatica during the later stages of their pregnancy.  The uterus puts stress on the muscles of the legs, which causes them put pressure on nearby nerves. Pregnancy massage can significantly reduce sciatic nerve pain by decreasing the inflammation of nerves and muscles.  Prenatal massage also relieves back pain, along with muscle tension and headaches.  Swelling of the joints can also be reduced through regular prenatal massage, by improving circulation and reducing fluid accumulation in the joints.

Feel Better Emotionally

Prenatal massage also has psychological and emotional benefits to expectant mothers.  The discomfort of pregnancy can be emotionally stressful, and taking the time to sooth sore muscles and achy joints while relaxing on a regular basis can significantly reduce stress levels and improve overall feelings of well-being.  It’s important to prepare for childbirth and motherhood by taking care of yourself during this period of intense change, and regular pregnancy massages can be an excellent form of self-care.

Happy Mom… Healthy Baby

By incorporating pregnancy massage into an overall prenatal care program, women can experience improved sleep and digestion, be better prepared for labor and delivery, and improve skin elasticity to minimize stretch marks.  And of course, optimizing health and relaxing is just as good for the baby as it is for the expectant mother.
