Prenatal Massage
Therapeutic massage has been used for a long time to improve overall health and reduce stress. Research shows prenatal massage therapy can help reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and improve labor outcomes and newborn health. Women can start massage therapy at any point in their pregnancy whether it is during the first, second, or third trimester. As your shape and posture changes, our trained massage therapists will make accommodations with special cushioning systems or pillows that allow you to lie face down safely, while providing room for your growing belly and breasts. Massage therapy can be incorporated into routine prenatal care as an emotional and physical health boost meant to improve pregnancy health and outcome. Consult your massage therapist before your first appointment to verify what position you would be most comfortable in for your massage.
