What to Expect
Your therapist will use gentle to firm pressure depending on the patients comfort level to ease any muscle tension and soreness caused by pregnancy. This technique helps improve circulation, promote relaxation and reduce stress levels.
Special pregnancy pillows are used to ensure your comfort. These allow our moms-to-be to lie face-down safely during their session through pregnancy. Towards the end of pregnancy, mom can also receive bodywork in the side-lying position if that is more comfortable for her.
Your therapist will ask you where you’re feeling pain. Pregnancy affects the entire body and many mothers benefit from full body massages. Many moms want to do a full body massage, because they feel sore all over. We can provide this type of bodywork or focus on the area that’s bothering you.
You can do a 30, 60 or 90 minute session. Learn more about massage therapy and the techniques we offer.
