Pregnancy massage is therapeutic bodywork that focuses on the special needs of the mother-to-be as her body goes through dramatic changes.
It enhances the function of muscles and joints, improves circulation and general body tone, and relieves mental and physical fatigue. The gentle, noninvasive approach of prenatal massage can ease discomfort associated with pregnancy, help the mother-to-be prepare for labor and give her nurturing emotional support.
