An aching back, hips, and legs; nausea; insomnia; headaches; swollen feet; and unpredictable hormones are all a part of a normal pregnancy. However, many women have discovered a way to ease some of the discomfort associated with pregnancy and even improve their labor and delivery. When you are pregnant, your skeletal structure supports an increasing amount of weight, your organs shift to accommodate the baby, and you go through significant emotional and psychological changes. A massage therapist certified in prenatal massage is trained to manipulate those muscles most affected by these changes to help alleviate some of the discomfort, and the relaxation can help ease your emotional rollercoaster. A pre-natal massage will be done in a side-lying position with pillows and bolsters carefully place to make sure you are extremely comfortable. A Post-Natal Massage helps speed up the post-pregnancy healing process by increasing circulation and aiding in the stabilization of hormonal activity. Light, gentle stroking motions increase circulation, eliminate toxins and help reduce post-delivery swelling. A.R.T.
