Pregnancy Massage in Downtown Seattle

Getting a pregnancy massage (a massage during pregnancy) can be helpful in relieving the stress on the body and the mind due to the pregnancy.

Some of the changes that happen to the body during pregnancy include: lengthening of ligaments in the pelvic area to prepare for birth, reduced breathing capacity, swelling in the hands and feet and back pain can be reduced with regular massage. It is recommended that you get massage once a week starting after the first trimester and going right up to the birth.

Massage can be done to make the process of pregnancy more comfortable (if there is such a thing!)

Massage is done mostly from a sidelying position to ensure the safety of the baby and mother.

I have worked with many pregnant women at all stages of pregnancy and even assisted in 3 births which were some of the most memorable moments of my life.

I have also written more about pregnancy massage on my website that I write for the massage profession www.thebodyworker.com.

Let me know if you have any other questions about getting massage during your pregnancy or how massage can help with recovery from the child birth process and please call to schedule an appointment.Thanks!
