PREGNANCY MASSAGE - WHY AND WHEN

 

Pregnancy massage, also known as pre-natal massage, promotes relaxation, soothes nerves, and relieves strained back and leg muscles in expectant mothers. Pregnancy massage is especially beneficIal in the second and third trimesters, when the extra weight in your belly puts a strain on your back. We do not perform massages in the first trimester without your obstetrician's referral.

 

OUR SPECIAL CARE

 

Only therapists trained and certified in Pre-Natal massage work with expectant mothers. They will take extra care to make sure your body gets the cushioning and support it needs. When you’re lying on your back, there will be pillows underneath your knees and shoulders. If you’re far along in your pregnancy, you might be positioned in a semi-reclining position. To have your back massaged, you will be

lying on your side, with pillows under your head and between your legs.
