Prenatal Massage

BENEFITS
Prenatal massage can help reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and improve labor outcomes and newborn health.
​
REDUCTION OF SWELLING
Edema, or swelling of the joints during pregnancy, is often caused by reduced circulation and increased pressure on the major blood vessels by the heavy uterus. Massage helps to stimulate soft tissues to reduce the collection of fluids in swollen joints. This also improves the removal of tissue waste carried by the body's lymph system.
​
IMPROVEMENT OF NERVE PAIN
Sciatic nerve pain is experienced by many women in late pregnancy as the uterus rests on muscles of the pelvic floor and lower back. Massage therapy addresses the inflamed nerves by helping to release the tension on nearby muscles.
