Pregnancy Massage

All pregnancy massages are performed by therapists who’ve undergone specific training, so feel free to ask any questions you might have before your treatment starts. Your therapist will ask you to prepare two pillows to use as props and they’ll help you get as comfy as possible. You’ll be on your side throughout the treatment to make sure your baby receives oxygen and nutrients by not compressing the umbilical vein. Your therapist will use long, slow strokes and kneading movements in the places you’re feeling tense, with special attention paid to the lower back and legs. Probably not the treatment for you if: You’re in your first trimester, or there’s a chance you could be in the early stages of pregnancy. You have a history of miscarriage or high-risk pregnancy. You’re prone to blood clots or you’re experiencing cramping or bleeding.
