If you are pregnant or know someone who is pregnant; then you know what changing conditions in the body a woman feels. Pregnancy massage
is one of the best ways to cope with these changes. A woman's body experiences so many changes during pregnancy, both physical and
hormonal. A massage will address these changes, and help the expecting mother feel better.
At Chattanooga Massage & Bodyworks
we do pregnancy massage in a comfortable side-lying position. The expectant mother will have pillows for her head and a body pillow
to help her comfort level while on the massage table. We have a private restroom that can be reached right from the table, so there
is no need to re-dress for a bathroom break. The massage therapist will exit the room and only return after the client has returned
to the massage table.
Rate: $50/ 1 hour (for expecting moms, we offer a discounted rate on multiple pre-paid pregnancy massages)
Pregnancy
massage is a form of bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Pregnancy causes a woman’s body to undergo remarkable changes
in a matter of a few months. She will endure tremendous stress due to the dramatic physical, mental, and emotional changes she will
undergo throughout her pregnancy.
The goal of pregnancy massage is to minimize the stress and muscle tension brought on by these
changes and to promote relaxation. Using various techniques specifically for the new mother, pregnancy massage helps alleviate discomforts
experienced throughout the pregnancy. Pregnacy massage will reduce swelling in the hands, ankles and feet. It will lessen sciatic
pain. Reduce muscular discomfort in specific areas such as the neck, lower back and lower legs. Helps with tension and tightening
that can be felt throughout the entire body. Increases circulation of the blood and lymph which can help to eliminate toxins in the
body and can ease fatigue. Helps relieve anxiety and depressionwhile providing emotional support. Eases the stress mothers feel before
and after the birth of their baby. The reduction of joint pain due to extra weight and postural imbalance. Helps improved breathing
and relaxation and can provide relief from uncomfortable digestive issues. Massage can help with post-partum depression.
Pregnancy
massage is preformed with the mother in a side-lying supported by pillows and typically lasts between 50 and 60 minutes. She will
be draped and only the area being worked will be exposed. The massage can include anything from a full body Swedish Massage to light
massage work that may include other modalities such as reflexology. The pressure used by the massage therapist is adjusted to the
client’s comfort level.
During a womans first trimester massage is contraindicated because of certain pressure points on the
body that can cause a miscarriage during the early stages of pregnancy. This is an issue that is has been argued by some; stating
that as long as you stay clear of these pressure points massage is fine. Our therapists do not want to take any unneccessary risks;
so we do not recommed massage during the first trimester. If your pregnancy is considered "high risk" we also recommend consulting
with your pediatrician before receiving pregnancy massage.
We understand that expectant mother's are not only under the stresses
of pregnancy; but they can also be under some degree of financial stress while preparing for the new family member. That is why we
offer our pregnancy massage at a special rate $50. If you know an expecting mother who needs a massage, call our office today to book
her an appointment!
