Peri-Natal Massage

Massage is a common alternative therapy recommended by doctors for pregnant women. One reason: "Pregnancy does a number on your posture. It compresses your lower back, weakens your core, and places a lot of pressure on your legs and feet," says Abigail Dennis, M.D., an ob-gyn at the Family Childbirth and Children's Center at Mercy Hospital, in Baltimore. Having massage therapy during pregnancy can reduce swelling and release the tight muscles that lead to low back pain, tension and sciatica. A pregnancy massage is different than your traditional massage in that you may be in a different position, possibly side-lying or bolstered with pillows. You may even prefer a shorter treatment, like 30 or 45 minutes instead of the regular hour. The tension level may be adjusted depending on your needs and the stage of pregnancy. In addition to relieving muscle pain, it can decrease stress that may be higher during pregnancy and afterwards. Speak with your OB or Midwife to determine if there’s any reason you shouldn’t receive massage during or immediately after pregnancy. That being said, most of our patients appreciate their regular appointments during those 9 months and beyond. Ref: Parents.com - The Benefits of Pre Natal Massage

Sports Massage

A sports massage is a treatment style designed to improve athletic performance and prevent injuries. This is for athletes and active persons to maintain your healthy lifestyle. Your sports massage will focus on trigger points and tight or inactive muscles, and may involve stretches during or after. It’s common to feel sore the day after sports massage. This style is recommended pre-competition, post-competition, after some heavy training days, or monthly to maintain your sporty lifestyle. Make sure to communicate with your RMT what you need to focus on so they can adjust your Sport Massage to suit you.
