Prenatal Massage
Bodywork/massage for the expectant mother can feel like a light touch, and although relaxing, may not actually address the issues an expectant mom is having. The goals of a pregnancy massage with Marta are not only to keep mom comfortable and alleviate those aches and pains that occur as baby grows and her body changes, but also to prepare mom for delivery. Mom should begin her labor and delivery as physically and mentally relaxed as possible, whether she’s preparing for a vaginal birth or a scheduled C-Section. Areas addressed include:
-
intraoral work, as the jaw is connected to the pelvis
-
external pelvic floor muscles, as they support the increasing weight of baby’s growth
-
belly work to help alleviate the tension created by the growing baby and mom’s ever-changing body
-
opening up the body as a whole, as the expectant mom’s body tends to tighten up, fold inward and pull forward.
Marta sees expectant moms in all trimesters of pregnancy. 60 or 90 minute service.
