Pre-Natal Massage
Pre-natal massage is a massage with the mom in mind! A body cushion is used to keep mom (and baby) supported while in the face-down or prone position. As the pregnancy advances the massage can be given in a side lying position. Common pre-natal ailments like swelling, low-back, hip and leg pain can be addressed, as well as reducing symptoms of depression. Pre-natal massage can alleviate discomfort during pregnancy, but women with high-risk pregnancies should consult their doctor before receiving massage therapy.
