Pre/Post-Natal Massage Therapy
What is Pre/Post-Natal Massage Therapy?
Pre/post-natal massage therapy is a specialized treatment designed to support women throughout pregnancy and during the postpartum period. Using gentle, therapeutic techniques and pregnancy-appropriate positioning, treatments are tailored to accommodate the body's changing needs while promoting comfort and relaxation.
During pregnancy, massage may help relieve common areas of discomfort such as lower back tension, hip and leg discomfort, neck and shoulder tension, and general muscle stiffness. It can also encourage relaxation, reduce stress, and help improve overall comfort as the body adapts to pregnancy.
Post-natal massage focuses on supporting the body as it recovers after childbirth. Treatment can help address areas of muscular tension and physical discomfort associated with pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, carrying, and daily activities. Each session is personalized to your stage of pregnancy or postpartum recovery, comfort level, and individual needs.
At ReliefPoint Massage and Osteopathy Therapy, your comfort and safety are our priority. Your therapist will discuss your needs and adapt positioning and techniques to provide a comfortable, supportive treatment experience.
