Prenatal massage is therapeutic bodywork that focuses on the special needs of the mother-to-be as her body goes through the dramatic changes of pregnancy. It enhances the function of muscles and joints, improves circulation, general body tone, and relieves mental, and physical fatigue.

​

             The gentle, noninvasive approach of prenatal massage can ease discomfort associated with pregnancy and give her nurturing emotional support.

​

        A lot of women worry about whether massage is safe during pregnancy and the truth is that if preformed by a Licensed Massage Therapist, one specifically certified in prenatal massage, then not only is the massage perfectly safe but it will benefit both baby and mother

​

         During our prenatal massages you will be sitting in a slightly reclined position or laying on your side with you body positioned properly with pillows so there is no strain on the mother’s joints and there is optimal blood flow to baby.

             We do not use or recommend the tables with the inserts cut out for the stomach and breasts because everyone’s stomachs are different shapes and sizes all throughout the pregnancy and this could cause a loss of blood flow to the baby if the stomach does not match the insert perfectly.

​

           Studies have shown that prenatal massage decreases labor times. In fact, in all the studies done, women who received prenatal massage regularly hand an average of 4 hours of labor.

​

 I am sure you are wondering how often you should receive prenatal massage during your pregnancy. The professional recommendation, proven by many studies, is that you should receive a prenatal massage every 2 weeks until the third trimester then you should receive one every week until birth.

                In between each session the mother-to-be should be practicing self-massage and stretching on the regular bases.

 

             After the baby is born at least for the first few months it is recommended to get a prenatal massage every 2 weeks. This will help with postpartum depression and getting your body back into shape. Prenatal massage helps to realign the body weight, tones over-stretched skin over the belly, as well as relieving muscle tension and stress.
