Prenatal Thai Yoga Massage sessions are ideally given on a regular and consistent schedule to ensure maximum benefits. Techniques learned in sessions can be applied during birth to facilitate relaxation, connection with baby and a confidence in your birth experience. Thai yoga is a wonderful massage during pregnancy. A combination of acupressure and very gentle stretching, it rhythmically stimulates and quietens, relaxes and energises within the movements of the body and with the breath. Thai yoga massage is great at relieving the lower back of all those aches and pains associated with the weight of carrying the little one(s) and is very effective at relieving sciatica and leg tension. It's also great at getting into those obscure and difficult to reach areas of the upper thoracic back area and shoulders. At the end of the massage a serene sense of calm and and yet revitalization are shared by both mother and baby.
Now using the new found comfort and relief made possible by the
Prego Pillow™. For the first time ever, expecting mothers can lie safely and comfortably on their stomach providing increased relief for back pain in the later stages of pregnancy.
