Pregnancy & Post-partum Massage
Changes Pregnancy is a time of many changes as your body adapts to the new life growing within. You need and deserve support, especially since two people now depend on your health and vitality. Pregnancy massage focuses on the dramatic structural, physiological and psychological ways you are changed and challenged throughout pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period. Registered Massage Therapists use safe, nurturing and effective techniques tailored to your special needs as they change throughout each trimester.* Recent studies have shown that women who received pregnancy massage treatment had fewer complications during labor and their infants had fewer postnatal complications. *Massage is safe for women with normal pregnancies and can be beneficial for high risk pregnancies.
