WHAT IS A PRENATAL MASSAGE
(AND WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE)?
A prenatal massage is a relaxing massage specifically tailored to alleviate the physical discomfort and fatigue related to pregnancy.
A high-quality professional pregnancy pillow helps greatly relieve pressure where pressure is not normally relieved for a pregnant woman. Our trained massage therapists adjust their techniques to the changing bodies of pregnant women. The overall pressure is gentler and lighter than in a regular massage. The strokes used tend to be long and gliding – a technique known as effleurage. Additionally, some areas and pressure points may be avoided during certain stages of your pregnancy.
