Massage Therapy At Merle Norman A Complementary Choice During Pregnancy

Massage therapy during pregnancy is a wonderful complementary choice of prenatal care. 
It is a healthy way to reduce stress and promote overall wellness.
Massage relieves many of the normal discomforts such as back aches, stiff neck, headaches and edema.
Massage for pregnant women reduces stress on weight-bearing joints, while encouraging blood and lymph circulation. 
It helps to relax nervous tension which promotes better sleep and can help relieve depression or anxiety caused by hormonal chanes.
Massage is done side-lying after the first trimester. Pillows and wedges are used to support the body and abdomen. Swedish flexes and stretching is used in the hips and lower back.
