Prenatal & Maternity Massage

As identified by the U.S. Library of Medicine, up to 20 percent of women may experience depression in their lifetimes, but pregnancy is one of the periods of greatest vulnerability to depression. During your prenatal massage at Reflexion Spa™, you get an exclusive retreat from the stresses of becoming a mother. The quality, trained massage therapists at Reflexion Spa™ will tailor your massage to your unique needs.

Your prenatal massage may include a deep-tissue massage of the neck, and by applying pressure to specific points in the neck, your massage therapist will work to reduce the drain caused by pregnancy. In addition, massage triggers the release of relaxing, mood-boosting endorphins, the body’s natural form of morphine.

Another factor that helps reduce stress is the environment. Reflexion Spa™ takes every consideration to create a welcoming, relaxing environment. Ambient lighting and exclusive scheduling mean your therapist is not pressured to finish early or skip important parts of the massage. As a result, you can enter a state of reserve with greater ease and take full advantage of the mental health-boosting benefits of a pregnancy massage.

Swelling, aches and pains are typically thought of unavoidable and untreatable during pregnancy. But, prenatal massage stimulates the blood vessels throughout the body and extremities. Thus, the massage encourages the healthy distribution of nutrients in the mother’s body, which results in better nourishment to the womb and baby and fewer aches and pains.

The exclusivity of Reflexion Spa™ goes further by proactively positioning you to eliminate risk of harm to your unborn child. Unlike traditional massages, prenatal massage therapists need to take extra care in positioning mothers to prevent injury. This ensures an uninterrupted blood supply to the child and effectively increases the blood flow to muscles in your back and extremities. Better circulation allows muscles to heal faster, which reduces inflammation and swelling.

Better muscle health also means fewer sore spots and increased mobility. In other words, a pregnancy massage can be thought of as an added boost to give you the energy you need to care for your child after delivery.
