What is a Prenatal Massage?
A prenatal massage is a massage for expectant mothers who are out of their first
trimester. You will lie on your side or back with pillows provided to ensure you are
comfortable throughout your massage.
During your session, your licensed massage therapist will use relaxing strokes, similar
to what you would expect during a Swedish massage. Your massage therapist will
focus on areas that typically cause discomfort during pregnancy, such as your lower
back, hips, and legs.
Benefits of a Prenatal Massage
Prenatal massage is used to reduce stress, decrease swelling, and relieve aches and
pains commonly associated with pregnancy. A prenatal massage can also reduce
anxiety and depression. Prenatal massage also improves sleep, which is very important
and not always easy to achieve during pregnancy!
