Pregnancy Massage

Prenatal massage therapy is a wonderful addition to women’s prenatal care. The benefits of massage can improve overall prenatal health for many pregnant women and studies have shown prenatal massage to reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, improve labor outcomes and reduce labor duration. It is also the baby’s first introduction to safe and nurturing touch! Women can begin massage therapy at any point in their pregnancy. Special bolstering techniques are used during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters when lying flat on the back or stomach is no longer an option due to the growing baby. Massage therapy can be incorporated into any woman’s prenatal care routine as an emotional and physical health supplement proven to improve pregnancy outcome and maternal health.
