Pregnancy is a joyous event in a woman’s life, but it
also affects a woman’s body in ways that are often painful or
uncomfortable. Pregnancy Massage can help relieve the discomforts of
carrying a baby, and allow a woman to fully enjoy her pregnancy.
Women can be massaged from the first moment they find out they are
expecting, all the way through labor and postpartum recovery.
Why choose to be in pain when you can do something
about it? A Pregnancy Massage is not just for you, but also for your
baby.
What to Expect
When you arrive for your appointment you will fill out a health history
form about your pregnancy. Your therapist will then go over it
with you; you will talk about what will happen during the massage and go
over any concerns you may have. If you are having a high risk
pregnancy, you will need to get written release from you doctor or
midwife before the first session.
Each pregnancy is different. Depending on your needs and how far along
you are, you will either lie face up, face down, or on your side. Once
you are on the table, the therapist will make sure you are completely
comfortable. Each session is tailored to your specific needs and
wants.
