A prenatal massage (or pregnancy massage) is designed to ease the aches and pains often experienced during pregnancy. Using gentle and mild pressure, a prenatal massage will relax muscle tension, reduce stress, and also help to reduce swelling in the feet and legs while easing fatigue.

Other prenatal massage benefits include:

• Reduced back and joint pain
• Improved circulation
• Reduced muscle tension and fewer headaches
• Reduced edema
• Better sleep
• Reduced anxiety and stress

Many pregnant women experience sciatic nerve pain late in pregnancy, as well as tension in the leg muscles and nearby nerves. A prenatal massage from our Chattanooga spa can release the tension on muscles and nerves allowing for reduced pain in the back and legs.
