Prenatal massage therapy offers a wide range of hormonal, mental, and physical benefits to expecting mothers, nurturing maternal and fetal health holistically and naturally.
The Massage Matters Clinic is proud to have a team of certified massage therapists who specialize in providing soothing, relaxing, and exceptional prenatal care. Our prenatal massages are customized to therapeutically support the unique needs of each individual during your pregnancy journey, using safe and non-invasive techniques that improve circulation, reduce stress and headaches, improve sleep, and balance hormones and mood, while alleviating pain, swelling, and tension.
Your Comfort Is Our Priority
For your safety and well-being, we adhere to best practices that minimize risk during the crucial first 12 weeks, offering prenatal services only during the 2nd or 3rd trimester of pregnancy. Always consult with your healthcare provider before you begin massage therapy.
We encourage you to discuss any particular points of discomfort during your consultation with our massage therapists. Each of our 50-80 minute sessions is customized to your specific needs and preferences, with support cushions for your ideal positioning.
Reduce Pregnancy Discomfort, Pain, And Swelling
Pregnancy is a journey filled with changes and challenges, driven by hormone level shifts. Our specialized prenatal massage techniques will gently provide relief from pain in nerves, joints, and muscles, easing the aches and puffiness that arise as your body naturally transforms and prepares for childbirth.
Hormones progesterone and relaxin causes joints and ligaments to relax, especially in the pelvic area. As the uterus grows and pulls the lower spine forward, many women naturally try to adjust by leaning back. This leads to back pain, one of the most common sources of discomfort during pregnancy.
The increase in progesterone can also lower blood pressure and increase blood volume, which may slow circulation. Your body also naturally retains more fluids to support the needs of you and your developing baby. This fluid retention can lead to swelling in the form of edema, often in the legs, ankles, and feet. Combined with the strain on your lower back due to your expanding uterus, this can cause sciatic nerve pain, often exacerbated in the third trimester as your baby’s head begins to press directly on the sciatic nerve. Massage therapy helps to enhance blood circulation, reduce swelling and pain, improve oxygenation of soft tissue and muscles, and encourage lymphatic drainage of soft tissue waste.
Optimize Mother & Baby Health With Hormonal Harmony
As an all-natural therapy in prenatal care, studies show that regular massages over the course of several weeks reduce stress hormones and boost natural mood elevators. The American Pregnancy Association says that hormonal regulation “led to fewer complications during birth and fewer instances of newborn complications, such as low birth weight. The evidence strongly suggests there are maternal and newborn health benefits when therapeutic massage is incorporated into regular prenatal care.”
Pregnancy is an experience that can be continuously demanding and tiring. Emotional harmony is crucial for the health of you and your baby. Our massage therapists are devoted to creating space and time for you to experience restful rejuvenation and peace. Relieving pregnancy stress and anxiety leads to enhanced cardiovascular health, which can improve circulation and thus oxygen and nutrient delivery to your baby.
