Why would you need a prenatal massage in Dallas?
Very simple. You’re pregnant, your body aches, joints ache, your skin is stretching. There are things going on in your body that you have never experienced before. It’s time to go to a professional in the Dallas area. Schedule yourself a relaxing and therapeutic Dallas prenatal massage!
Prenatal massage has been around since the dawn of time. Eskimos used massage during pregnancy, labor and postpartum to help in all aspects of healing. There was a Greek slave called a “doula” that would go to homes to massage women in labor. It wasn’t known as “prenatal massage” back in those days, but there was a clear, positive effect in the use of massage at all stages of pregnancy. Massage has always been used to help maneuver baby during labor to help ease them through the birth canal. It exemplifies a healing, human connection.
Nowadays prenatal massage is used very much in the same way. Massaging the soft tissues of the body helps increase circulation, drain trapped fluids in the body, lower anxiety and depression by increasing hormone levels and relieve some joint and muscle pain. Studies have shown that women who complete several sessions of massage over the course of their pregnancy see fewer complications during labor and in the overall health of their newborn.
Find out from your insurance provider if prenatal massage is covered. It has become such a mainstream, well-documented service that insurance agencies are starting to credit families for the cost of some massage appointments.
Please check with your healthcare provider before scheduling a massage. Some high risk pregnancies should not try this. Only your healthcare provider will have a clear answer for you and your baby.

Enjoy your pregnancy. Get yourself a massage!
Pregnancy tests your body in more ways than you ever thought possible. Growing another whole human inside you is no small feat! It’s a small wonder why you would need a Dallas prenatal massage or two during your nine month journey. Contact a masseuse today and get more comfortable as the end of your pregnancy approaches.
Don’t forget to capture these fleeting moments as well! Maternity photo sessions can help you remember all those little flutters and giant kicks your kiddo could throw in your uterus. As much as it seems like pregnancy takes 1,768 years, one day you’ll blink and your baby will be in elementary school. Soak it all in, mama. Never forget how little they were, and how big your belly was!
Until next time, may your day be bright and your coffee be strong!
