Prenatal Massage
Prenatal Massage offers the pregnant woman an opportunity to relax emotionally and physically. During and after the gestation period, massages can be performed to help her through the significant changes her body and emotions she will encounter. The first trimester, you can still lay face up, face down or in a side-lying position. We provide special pillows to ensure that your body is supported and comfortable. During the 2nd and 3rd trimesters, a prenatal massage should only be given in a side-lying position.
Expectant Mothers, we know the aches and pains associated with caring your baby-to-be. Beneficial Massage and Bodywork can relieve your aches and pain with a soothing prenatal massage while nestled in pillows like a baby yourself on our comfy-cozy massage table. Our Prenatal Massage provides the same relaxation of our regular massage. Our Massage Therapists’ goal is to help you let go of tension and melt into a puddle of calmness and bliss. Our Prenatal Massage is specifically tailored to address the needs of an expecting mother. Each Mom-to-Be leaves feeling refreshed and relaxed, ready to take on their day.
The long smooth strokes, kneading and circular movements of Swedish massage is the most comfortable and preferred. Prior to receiving a massage, you should speak with your doctor. You should also have open communication with the massage therapist regarding medical issues such as:
- High risk pregnancies
