Pregnancy massage is massage therapy specifically tailored for expectant mothers. The body goes through many dramatic changes during pregnancy affecting the mother to be both physically and psychologically. The massage table will be set up in a comfortable, safe position using extra padding and pillows so you and the baby are supported during the massage. Pregnancy massage has been found to reduce stress, decrease swelling in the arms and legs, and relieve aches and pains in muscles and joints so it's a popular choice when other modes of pain relief, such as medication, are often limited. Massage during this time can often relieve many of the common side effects of pregnancy, whether you suffer from backaches, headaches, edema or other pregnancy related problems.
