Vaughan Chiropractor: Prenatal Massage

Many pregnant women report reduced swelling and a significant decrease in back and joint pain as well as a reduction in muscle tension and headaches with qualified prenatal massage therapy.Studies have shown that certain stress hormone levels are significantly reduced, resulting in decreased anxiety and improved sleep patterns, when massage therapy techniques are carefully adapted to the concerns of pregnant women. From our Vaughan chiropractic clinic, our certified Keele Finch Chiropractic Centre therapists provide safe and soothing prenatal massage that offers a range of health benefits to both mother and her developing baby.

Is Prenatal Massage Therapy Safe?

Keele Finch Chiropractic Centre works in coordination with your medical doctor to evaluate your specific prenatal condition and to ensure your ultimate safety and comfort. Since a woman’s blood volume may increase significantly during pregnancy, certain methods such as deep tissue massage should be completely avoided due to the possible unpredictable effects on blood pressure. Keele Finch Chiropractic Centre massage therapists always use a safety-first approach and are well trained in providing only approved prenatal massage techniques that are designed for complete relaxation and soothing comfort following personalized assessments at our Vaughan clinic.

What to Expect at a Prenatal Massage Therapy Appointment

Keele Finch Chiropractic Centre takes extra special care to ensure your security and protection during prenatal massage. Our attentive massage therapists will gently assist you into a comfortable position on a special table equipped with soft and comfortable cushions to ensure complete support and to avoid any strain on the pelvis and lower back. Depending on the stage of your pregnancy, clients are positioned on either the back or side according to comfort. Certain areas of the body are specifically avoided during prenatal massage for the protection of both mother and baby with extra attention given instead to areas that are most affected such as the feet and lower back. Keele Finch Chiropractic Centre prenatal massage therapists also provide suggestions for better mobility and posture to improve sleep and keep the lower back pain-free.
