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.
