Prenatal Massage
This therapy is designed to comfort the body and soul of
pregnant women.  Several techniques are combined,
including Swedish Massage, Chinese Meridian Therapy,
stretching and Myofacial Release.

Why use massage therapy during pregnancy?
Massage during pregnancy makes a woman feel cared for
and provides her with wonderful physical benefits.  It also
offers a time for her to get in touch with and bond with her
baby.

Prenatal massage can...
  • Help alleviate neck tension and headaches.
  • Reduce fatigue and enhance sleep.
  • Calm the nervous system, release endorphins, and
    reduce stress hormones.
  • Reduce shoulder, low back, hip and pelvic
    discomfort.
  • Relieve leg cramps and muscle spasms.
  • Stimulate the lymphatic system, which increases
    immunity.
  • Stimulate red blood cell production, which may
    assist in the prevention of anemia.
  • Improve circulation, which
          reduces strain on the heart during bedrest
          reduces swelling
          reduces lactic acid in muscles
          increases metabolic waste removal
          increases nutrients and oxygen-rich blood
          supply to tissues, including the placenta
  • Reduce the length of labor, the need for
    medication, the length of hospital stay, the number
    of complications, depression and anxiety.
