CERTIFIED PREGNANCY MASSAGE

Expectant mothers experience major physical and mental changes during pregnancy. Weight gain changes posture, which often leads to back pain and severe joint strain. The pregnancy or prenatal massage is a natural way to significantly relieve most of the common discomforts of pregnancy. Through gentle stretching, pressing and stroking, the pregnancy massage becomes a holistic experience of body, mind and soul for the mother-to-be and promotes the bond with her baby. The mother-to-be can relax and perceive her body differently. With the pregnancy massage, the complaints in the upper back and in the shoulder-neck area as well as the hips can be alleviated. During the pregnancy massage, stress and anxiety can be reduced, the joints relieved and the blood circulation in the lymphatic vessels improved.
