Prenatal Massage

Pregnancy massage, also known as prenatal massage, is a specialized form of therapy tailored to the needs of expectant mothers. This therapeutic practice is designed to alleviate some of the discomforts associated with pregnancy, such as backaches, stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches, and edema (or swelling).

By focusing on the unique needs of the pregnant body, pregnancy massage helps improve circulation, reduce stress on weight-bearing joints, promote relaxation and reduce anxiety. The techniques adapted for pregnancy support the physiological, structural, and emotional well-being of both mother and fetus.

Sessions are typically conducted with the mother in a side-lying position, which is the safest for her and the baby. Special cushions or padding may be used to provide extra support and comfort. Beyond physical relief, pregnancy massage can also provide an emotional comfort, as it offers a nurturing and caring touch during this important time of transformation.
