PRE-NATAL MASSAGE
By Cameron Sinclaire
There’s nothing like a soothing prenatal massage to ease the pains and strains of pregnancy. Both body and mind feel better after a soothing prenatal massage at Melanie’s Day Spa. The extra weight and changes in posture stir up new aches and pains, and our team will make you feel as comfortable as possible during your prenatal massage! The magical hands of our staff will offer you the utmost comfort and forget all about the worries that pregnancy brings along.
Prenatal massages are adapted for the anatomical changes you go through during pregnancy. This type of massage can reduce stress hormones in your body and relax and loosen your muscles. It can also increase blood flow and keep your lymphatic system working at peak efficiency. Make sure you consult your doctor before booking any massage appointments!

Prepare your Body for Labor and Birth
Prenatal massage can help you have an easier delivery. While prenatal massage can reduce your overall stress level, this type of therapy also keeps your muscles toned and relaxed. Women have reportedly had shorter hospital stays, shorter labors, and less incidence of post-natal depression when receiving massages.
During pregnancy, regular prenatal massages may not only help you relax but may also relieve:
Insomnia - Massage will help you improve sleep quality.
Neck and Back Pain - Massage can soothe away back and neck discomfort and give relief to aching muscles.
Sciatica - For some people, the stress on the joints and muscles result in the lower back, pelvic, neck, shoulder, or sciatic nerve pain. After a prenatal massage, this type of discomfort will be relieved as well. Research shows it is effective for leg and back pain during pregnancy.
Swelling in Your Hands and Feet - The fluid buildup tends to be more pronounced in the legs, ankles, and feet because the growing uterus puts pressure on the veins in the legs. Massage may help to reduce fluid buildup.
Headaches and Sinus Congestion - Headaches and migraines are common issues pregnant women face daily. The new body posture that comes with growing a baby adds stress to the surrounding muscles. Regardless of the source of the pain, massage reduces headaches.
Joint Pain - Many women experience increased joint pain due to the added weight during pregnancy. Massage can help alleviate joint pain and ease soreness and stiffness.
Carpal Tunnel Pain - During pregnancy, your blood volume doubles. That extra fluid increases pressure and swelling in the blood vessels throughout your body. Our massage therapists will stretch the ligaments and tendons during your treatment to relieve some of the pressure.
Leg Cramping - The additional weight gain of pregnancy and changes in your circulation can often cause leg cramping. Your prenatal massage will help alleviate the soreness and ease the muscle.
At Melanie’s Day Spa, we always focus on the mom-to-be’s comfort and baby’s wellbeing, and we want you to maximize the pregnancy massage benefits. Our trained and professional massage therapists will listen carefully to what you need in order to give you the perfect massage to help you unwind, destress, and alleviate all the pain that your bundle of joy is causing.
