Prenatal

At Wellspring Integrative Medicine, we offer prenatal massage therapy to support the well-being of expectant mothers. Pregnancy brings physical and emotional changes, and our specialized massages are designed to provide relief, promote relaxation, and enhance overall health during this special time.

What Is Prenatal Massage?

Prenatal massage is a therapeutic approach tailored specifically to the needs of pregnant individuals. Using gentle techniques and safe positioning, this massage targets common discomforts associated with pregnancy, helping to ease tension, reduce swelling, and improve circulation.

Benefits of Prenatal Massage

Prenatal massage offers numerous benefits for both the mother and the baby, including:

Relief from Aches and Pains: Eases back pain, hip discomfort, and muscle tension.
Reduced Swelling: Alleviates fluid retention in the hands, feet, and legs.
Improved Sleep: Promotes relaxation, helping expectant mothers sleep better.
Stress Reduction: Lowers cortisol levels and enhances mood.
Enhanced Circulation: Boosts blood flow, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen.

Safety and Comfort First

At Wellspring Integrative Medicine, your safety and comfort are our top priorities. Our licensed massage therapists are specially trained in prenatal care, ensuring a safe and relaxing experience. We use supportive cushions and side-lying techniques to accommodate your growing belly and ensure maximum comfort during the session.

Back or pelvic pain

Poor sleep quality

If you have specific medical conditions or concerns, our team is happy to work with your healthcare provider to ensure your massage is both safe and effective.
