Also called Pre-Natal Massage, pregnancy massage has been found to reduce stress, decrease swelling in arms and legs, and to reduce aches and pains in the muscles and joints of expectant mothers.

It's a popular complementary therapy during pregnancy for back pain, when choices for relief, such as medication are often limited. Pregnancy massage can be used beginning in the second trimester and can continue throughout the entire pregnancy.

Your massage therapist can also be available for you during labor if you so choose. They can help with deep breathing exercises as well as cramping during labor, a soothing way to make one of the most important moments in you're a life a more enjoyable one.

Postpartum massage can be just as beneficial as massage during the term. Postpartum massage can be used to combat depression and stress from hormonal changes after pregnancy. Also, for those mothers using a cesarean method of birthing, scars can be minimized using massage.

Ask your therapist about the many types of packages available during your term and after.
