Why is it important?

Massage therapy can reduce and relieve muscular aches and ease joint pain, decrease anxiety, and help prepare for an easy labor. Many women do not slow down or take special care of themselves during this special time. Massage during pregnancy is one of the only times a busy pregnant woman has to relax and pamper herself. A soothing pregnancy massage can help decrease cortisol, and raise oxytocin levels.
