At MPower Bodywork, our Prenatal Massage is tailored to the unique needs of mothers-to-be. This specialized massage therapy supports the health and well-being of both the mother and baby throughout pregnancy. Depending on the trimester, our skilled therapists use a combination of Swedish massage, acupressure, and mild stretching to provide a safe and soothing experience. First Trimester: During the early stages of pregnancy, our focus is on gentle techniques to promote relaxation and reduce early pregnancy discomforts. Our therapists use light, soothing strokes to help alleviate common symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, and emotional stress. Second Trimester: As the pregnancy progresses, we incorporate more focused techniques to address evolving needs. This period often brings increased pressure on the lower back, hips, and legs. Our therapists use targeted acupressure and mild stretching to relieve sciatic nerve pain, backaches, leg cramps, muscle spasms, joint pain, and headaches. Third Trimester: In the final stages of pregnancy, the body undergoes significant changes, and our therapists are trained to provide support where it’s needed most. We use specialized techniques to ease discomforts such as shortness of breath and swelling. These sessions help to prepare the body for childbirth by promoting relaxation and improving circulation. Prenatal Massage can be incredibly beneficial in relieving common discomforts associated with pregnancy. Regular massage throughout pregnancy can help reduce nervous tension, improve sleep, and promote circulation. Studies indicate that massage therapy performed during pregnancy can reduce anxiety and swelling of the joints, decrease symptoms of depression, and improve labor outcomes and newborn health. Additional studies have shown that hormone levels associated with relaxation and stress are significantly altered when massage therapy is introduced to women’s prenatal care.
