Growing an entire human being is hard work. Your body undergoes tremendous structural and hormonal changes that stretch and strain muscles, tendons, and ligaments and can leave you feeling tired, anxious, achy or unable to get into a comfortable position. Enter prenatal massage.
Prenatal massage can help to reduce anxiety and symptoms of depression in pregnant women as well as alleviate low back pain and conditions like sciatica or sacro-iliac (SI) joint dysfunction that are often brought on or exacerbated by pregnancy. Using specialized bolsters and side-lying positioning, prenatal massage sessions are geared toward providing a comfortable and restorative space where women can focus on themselves and connect with their growing babies while reconnecting with themselves.
