Prenatal Massage

Prenatal Massage is a specialized full-body massage tailored to accommodate the anatomical changes experienced by pregnant women. Similar to a regular massage, it emphasizes safety and incorporates a variety of strokes to relax muscles in the back, shoulders, and hips. Utilizing the Swedish massage technique, characterized by gentle, sweeping strokes with minimal pressure, prenatal massages avoid deep tissue pressure to ensure the well-being of both the mother and baby.

Positioning:
