- Preparation: Before starting your prenatal massage in Dover, one of our skilled massage therapists will talk through your pregnancy-related symptoms. You’ll learn how massage can benefit you during this period in your life.
- Treatment: The main difference between a prenatal massage and other massages is how you relax on the massage table. We have you lie down safely on your side with support pillows and cushions. Your massage therapist focuses on applying minimal pressure on your body while avoiding certain points that may induce discomfort. A prenatal massage mainly uses the Swedish massage technique, which includes long, gentle strokes used to relieve joint and muscle tension. We avoid techniques like deep tissue massage—we only provide what’s best for you and your baby!
- Follow-up: Once we’ve completed your massage, we can schedule your next appointment at Skin Health Medi Spa. A prenatal massage in Dover, as part of your self-care routine, can improve your relief from daily pregnancy symptoms.
