Not only is Prenatal Massage a delightful gift for the baby shower, but it’s also vitally important for the health and wellbeing of any mum-to-be.

Prenatal massage can help to restore the balance of your joints, muscles and other soft tissues during this profound time of change. It can also offer grounding and soothing of emotional challenges that often arise during pregnancy.

Studies indicate that Prenatal massage therapy performed during pregnancy can reduce anxiety and decrease symptoms of depression. Prenatal massage has also been linked to favourable labor outcomes and newborn health.

During a Prenatal massage session, your therapist will work to relieve muscle aches and joint pains. She will work with you to find comfortable positioning for your whole body throughout the session. Options for this massage may be on a table, with pregnancy cushions, on the floor, or on your side.

Yoga therapy may be included as part of your Prenatal massage for those who wish to benefit from take-home poses for strengthening and improved mobility. This is also a great option to deepen your existing yoga practice.
