Pregnancy can bring about a lot of physical and emotional changes in a woman’s body.  The growing baby can cause strain on muscles & ligaments of the low back, abdomen, hips, ribs, shoulders and neck.


Benefits of Prenatal Massage include:

  • Soothes tired and tense muscles.
  • Improves sleep.
  • Relieves muscle cramps, spasms and tension in the lower back, neck, hips and legs.
  • Reduces the release of stress hormones.
  • Reduces heart rate and blood pressure.
  • Improves blood and lymph circulation, which can reduce swelling (edema).

 

At Balfour Massage Therapy we provide our pregnant patients with a pregnancy table to support your body during your massage.  The massage table converts from a flat surface to a table with recesses for belly & breasts and can be adjusted for all sizes of growing bellies.
