Prenatal Massage or Pregnancy Massage

Description

The pregnancy massage, also called prenatal massage or maternity massage, is a modality of therapeutic massage, using basic massage techniques and body positions to meet the needs of women as they undergo changes during pregnancy and postpartum. Massage has many benefits for the mother; it has been found to reduce stress, pain and discomfort in the muscles and joints, decrease swelling in the arms and legs and relieve the aches of pressure in many areas of the body.

A prenatal massage is similar to a Swedish massage except for a few modifications such as body positioning that can ensure the safety and comfort for both mother and baby.
