Massage Therapy during pregnancy is not only possible, but encouraged! The treatment is tailored to fit an expectant mother's needs. Pillows, bolsters, special table adjustments, and different positioning are utilized as needed to keep the mother comfortable and relaxed during treatment. Techniques and pressures are adapted to ensure the safety and health of both the mother and her baby.
Prenatal massage can be done side-lying, using multiple pillows to keep the body comfortable and supported. There is also the option of using a special pregnancy table or bolster (with Amanda or Darcel only) that allows the client to continue having treatments face-down.
The benefits of massage during pregnancy are many, including decreased discomfort and pain in muscles and joints, greater peace and relaxation, less anxiety, decreased swelling, and can help the body to adjust to the many changes it is undergoing.
Offered by all therapists.
Advanced training taken by Amanda and Darcel, with prone (lying face-down) pregnancy treatment options available upon request.
