60-Minute Prenatal Massage

Service Description

Pregnancy puts your body through extraordinary physical demands — and most of the discomfort that comes with it doesn’t have a simple fix. The lower back pain that keeps you up at night. The sciatica that flares every time you stand. The swelling in your ankles and feet. The hip pain from a pelvis that’s shifting to make room. The exhaustion that goes beyond tired. Each prenatal session combines Swedish massage, therapeutic techniques, and manual lymphatic drainage based on what your body needs that day. I adjust everything for where you are in your pregnancy — the work I do at 20 weeks is different from what I do at 36 weeks. You’ll be positioned comfortably with pillows and support so you can actually rest, which for a lot of my pregnant clients is the first real rest they’ve had in weeks. The lymphatic drainage component matters especially during pregnancy, when your body is producing significantly more fluid and your lymphatic system is working overtime. MLD helps move that fluid, reducing the puffiness and heaviness that so many pregnant women just accept as inevitable. It is common. That doesn’t mean you have to suffer through it. Also offering postpartum massage for new moms — because the work doesn’t end at delivery. Located in Kinnelon, NJ. Morgan Larson, LMT, CMLDT.
