Pregnancy Massage – Nicole Gillett

Many women aren’t sure if getting a massage while pregnant is fine for them or the baby, but it is actually great for the both of you!! There are precautions, just like any massage; to take into consideration but every RMT that is trained in pregnancy massage knows the precautions to take when needed, so there is nothing to worry about.

In the early stages of pregnancy you are still fine to lay on your stomach, it’s not until you are at the 12 or 15 week mark that we really have to change up the way we do your treatments. At this time the only thing that really needs to change is we would be massaging you on your side instead for your stomach. You still can get a full body massage on your side so you don’t need to miss out on anything. One extra part of the massage you can ask for that many people don’t know about, you can get your stomach massaged! Many moms and the baby enjoy it!

As a therapist, it’s amazing to be able to feel the baby moving around as you massage the mother’s belly. There are many benefits to getting a pregnancy massage: relaxation, keep blood pressure done, reduce swelling, help you sleep better and more, increase circulation, and reduce back pain. We know expecting mothers sometimes have a lot of pain in different areas of the body, so we wouldn’t want you to miss out on a massage just because you are pregnant.

At Adica Massage Clinic we will accommodate your needs! We also offer therapeutic massage, hot stone massage, 4 handed massage, deep tissue massage and even 4 handed massage!
