Benefits for my baby and me.

Massage Pricing

Studies have shown that massage during pregnancy can have many great benefits to both the mother and infant.

♥  Stress Reduction  - very high levels of stress may contribute to preterm birth or low birth weight in full-term babies.  Regular massage can help reduce stress and provide emotional support for you through this exciting and sometimes stressful time.

♥  Pain Relief - massage can help relieve pregnancy discomfort including muscle cramps, spasms, and myofascial pain, especially in the lower back, legs, hips, and neck.

♥  Reduce Swelling - massage stimulates blood and lymph circulation, which helps reduce swelling.

 
 
  Improves Labor - receiving massage during pregnancy can improve the labor outcome and help ease labor pain.  As part of your pregnancy massage visit, you will be shown simple exercises, breathing and postural techniques that can be very useful throughout your pregnancy and during labor. 
Labor support can also have a tremendous affect on you and your partners labor experience.  Call for details or visit It Takes a Village, A New Life Begins, or Pinellas Doula for more information.

During your treatment, your massage therapist may incorporate several modalities including Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release, Muscle Energy Techniques and Zone Therapy.  All in a relaxing spa-like atmosphere.  Depending on your term, positioning may allow you to lie on your stomach, back, side or semi-reclining position.  You and your baby's comfort and safety is our top priority.

As part of your therapeutic prenatal sessions, your therapist will discuss specific ideas for self-care activities.  These can include ways to keep your posture intact, ways to use cushions and stretches, breathing techniques to help you relax, and techniques to prepare for labor.
