Common Concerns about Pregnancy Massage

 

You and your baby’s well-being comes first. Our Massage Therapists are professionally trained to work with you to develop an effective and safe massage therapy treatment plan during your pregnancy that will complement the care you are receiving from your doctor and other healthcare providers.

 

Our Massage Therapists are also prepared to address the subtle needs of expectant mothers like yourself, including the potential need for restroom breaks and the use of unscented massage oil so as to not aggravate a sensitive sense of smell.
