Prenatal or Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy is a very dynamic time for a soon-to-be mother to endure. The body goes through significant changes in a relatively short period of time. Massage therapy can help manage the aches and pains that accompany these changes.
Pregnancy can cause the following symptoms:
- Joint and Muscle Pain
- General or Momentary Fatigue
- Emotional or Physical Agitation
- Numbing/Tingling and Fluid Retention in the Extremities
These symptoms are commonly caused by:
- Stress

The application of this manual technique assists in providing relief from various pregnancy-related conditions, as well as helping to maintain functional movement.
