Tranquility Health Victoria: Prenatal Massage

Pregnancy is a remarkable phase in a woman's life where her body undergoes various physiological, emotional, and musculoskeletal transformations. 

Your Registered Massage Therapist must be cognizant of the normal and possibly unexpected changes during pregnancy while prioritizing the overall health and well-being of the expectant mother. Muscle aches and joint instability are common symptoms in the second trimester and throughout the rest of the pregnancy, caused by ligaments becoming softer and stretchier than usual due to the natural presence of pregnancy-related hormones. 

At Tranquility Health Victoria our treatment room is equipped with a specially designed "Pregnancy Pillow" that allows clients to lay face-down during their pregnancy massage treatment. Our clients often remark that this is a welcome change from their usual sleep-related posture at home. During a prenatal massage, our treatment plans are designed to address the individual's symptoms, to decrease pain and postural discomforts while maintaining optimal wellness in preparation for labour.
