What To Expect Out Of A Prenatal Massage
When you book your prenatal massage with our seasoned professionals, we ensure the utmost care for mom and baby. Your comfort is our priority.
You will be asked to lie on your side, and we will support your body with soft cushions to hold you in place and take any strain off your lower back and pelvic area. Depending on how far along you are in your pregnancy, we will utilize prenatal massage techniques that focus on our relaxation as well as reflexology massage types.
Women with normal, low-risk pregnancies can benefit from this variety of massage techniques. Though, in order not to over-stimulate neither mother nor baby, these prenatal massage treatments are offered at a maximum of 60 minutes.
