Therapeutic Pregnancy Massage
Sometimes when moms-to-be receive a pregnancy massage from someone who is not a specialist – they often end up dissapointed with the results and are given a basic swedish massage with technqiues applied only to the superficial layers of the muscles.
Here at Atlanta Pregnancy Massage, we offer a much different approach to prenatal massage with the understanding that this is exactly the time in a woman’s life when she needs a therapeutic approach and not a massage that “glosses over” what she is experiencing with her ever-changing body.
At Atlanta Pregnancy Massage we focus on pregnant mothers, offering a combination of a relaxing, nurturing approach, combined with the expertise of advanced clinical massage applications. Our prenatal massage generally includes long strokes, kneading and friction techniques, combined with active and passive movements of the joints and advanced therapeutic techniques.
Advanced therapeutic techniques include:
- Myofascial Release
- Strain Counterstrain
- Muscle Energy
- Joint Mobilization
- Reflexive Techniques
- Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT)
This specialized pregnancy massage is designed to reduce muscular tension and stress, decrease swelling of feet and legs and increase circulation. In addition, it helps address the postural distortions that can occur during pregnancy, relieve trigger points with deeper neuromuscular techniques and provide a lasting effect to improve a mom’s overall comfort during her pregnancy.

Come Out Baby Massage
In addition to our specialized pregnancy massage, we also offer a Come Out Baby Massage for moms that are near or past their due dates and want to encourage baby’s arrival! Massage can be very beneficial in helping moms go into labor.
The Come Out Baby Massage is a massage that prepares the mom’s body for the physical act of birth and incorporates reiki, therapeutic massage and acupressure techniques that can stimulate contractions. This massage is given while the mom listens to a special audio track that brings her deeply into hypnosis and directs her to relax the birthing muscles all around her baby. It gives powerful suggestions that labor will start soon and be strong, effective and comfortable.
This massage is best when scheduled very close to or after the due date and at a time that will allow for mom to go home and rest/sleep afterwards to maintain her deep level of relaxation and encourage labor to begin.
