Prenatal Massage
Much more than a pampering treatment, prenatal massage is designed to promote a healthy pregnancy and smoother delivery by providing relaxation and stress reduction, improved circulation and respiration, as well as relief from the aches and challenges of a rapidly changing body. These may include pregnancy-induced carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica pain, edema, low back and pelvic pain, as well as anxiety and depression. In the days leading up to delivery, deep tissue massage and assisted stretching exercises can loosen up the soft tissues of the pelvis, back and legs in order to prepare the mother for birthing.
