Pregnancy
Studies indicate that massage therapy performed during pregnancy can reduce your anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, reduce swelling and edema, and improve your birth outcomes and your newborn’s health.
Postpartum
Postpartum massage can be as important and beneficial as massage during pregnancy.
