90 minute Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy massage is designed to relieve some of the problems that are common during pregnancy.
Service Description
What is a pregnancy massage? Pregnancy massage is a type that's similar to regular massage – it aims to relax tense muscles, ease sore spots, improve circulation and mobility, and just make you feel good. But prenatal massage is also customized to the needs of pregnant women and their changing bodies, and therapists experienced in prenatal massage adjust their techniques accordingly. Carrying a baby inside you changes your center of gravity and puts a lot of stress on your back, neck, abdominal muscles, and shoulders. Pregnancy also relaxes your ligaments, meaning your pelvic joints are less stable, and it also changes your posture, pulling your pelvis forward. Add to that the extra weight you're carrying and you may end up with an aching lower back and hips, swollen limbs and severe fatigue. An experienced prenatal massage therapist knows where a pregnant woman's sore and swollen spots are likely to be and they'll also know the most effective techniques to employ and areas to avoid. When to get pregnancy massage? You can have a pregnancy massage at any point in pregnancy, as long as you have your doctor or midwife's okay. Some massage therapists won't see pregnant women until the second trimester because of the increased risk of miscarriage in the first trimester. But there's no evidence or reason to believe that prenatal massage in the first trimester would raise your miscarriage risk.
