Understanding the Benefits of Prenatal Therapeutic Massage
Pregnancy can bring about various physical and emotional changes, leading to discomfort such as back pain, swelling, headaches, and more. Our Prenatal Therapeutic Massage treatments are designed to provide relief from these symptoms and promote overall well-being for expecting mothers. As a clinic, we support our pregnant and new moms with pain, tightness and discomfort as well as athletic support… because you don’t necessarily have to stop being active when you’re pregnant (check with your MD first).
What to Expect at Our Office
We want our clients to know exactly what to expect, so there are no surprises. It’s important to note that this service is not specifically focused solely on relaxation, and while we use pillows for support and your comfort, we don’t have other special equipment. Our approach is therapeutic and tailored to support your body’s needs during pregnancy. And while all of our therapists are nurturing and supportive, they really shine as clinicians who can help you feel great when you feel like you need the support. You always deserve it, of course!
How Prenatal Therapeutic Massage Can Help You!
Prenatal Therapeutic Massage is tailored to the unique needs of pregnant women. Our skilled massage therapists use gentle to deep, targeted techniques to alleviate tension, reduce swelling, and improve circulation, all while creating a calming and nurturing environment. We understand that many of our expecting mothers and new moms may need deep treatment work, and we’re happy to provide that if appropriate. Our therapists will use clear communication and check-in with you and we invite the same from our clients.
Alleviating Back Pain
During pregnancy, the body undergoes significant changes, often leading to back pain. Prenatal massage helps relieve tension in the lower back by loosening tight muscles and improving mobility.
Reducing Swelling
Massage therapy stimulates circulation and helps reduce fluid buildup, which can cause swelling in the legs, ankles, and feet during pregnancy.
Easing Headaches and Neck Pain
Prenatal massage is effective in reducing the frequency and severity of headaches. By targeting areas of tension, the massage encourages relaxation and stress relief, reducing pregnancy-related headaches and neck tightness.
Promoting Emotional Well-being
Pregnancy can bring about emotional fluctuations due to hormonal changes. Prenatal Therapeutic Massage not only soothes the body but also promotes emotional balance and reduces stress, contributing to better overall mental health.
Improving Sleep Quality
Many expectant mothers experience sleep disturbances during pregnancy. Prenatal massage helps relax the body and mind, improving sleep patterns and promoting deeper, more restful sleep.
Preparing the Body for Labor
Regular prenatal massage can help prepare the body for labor by improving circulation, promoting relaxation, and reducing muscle tension. This helps expecting mothers enter labor with a more relaxed and balanced body.
