Oh Mama! However, being a vessel of life can be tough on the body of expectant moms. Pregnancy massage, or prenatal massage, is a therapeutic massage designed to focus on the special needs of a mother-to-be as her body changes during pregnancy. Most importantly, they are deeply relaxing. A prenatal massage is a full body massage that focuses on the special needs of women as their bodies undergo significant changes during pregnancy.
Designed for the safety and comfort of both mother and baby, prenatal massages are performed by a certified prenatal massage therapist who utilizes relaxing, slow strokes similar to the Swedish massage technique. Most moms-to-be will experience aches and pains during pregnancy — most commonly, back pain, foot pain, aches in joints and ligaments, headaches and fatigue among other symptoms. Prenatal massage delivers relief through targeted movements where tension resides like the shoulders and neck and in deeper muscles that are stressed by carrying extra weight throughout the body.
According to the American Pregnancy Association , maternal massages are safe and healthy throughout your entire pregnancy including during the first trimester. If you have a high-risk condition, we strongly recommend getting the okay from your doctor before a massage treatment. Your massage therapist will take extra care in checking on you throughout the massage for comfort level and body temperature. Viva Day Spa also offers special pregnancy bolstering for body and belly!
