Treatment Focus: New Moms Massage

what it is: a program of two pregnancy massages and, after baby is born, two postnatal massage treatments

Allison, Jessica and Brenda, Certified Massage Therapists at Spa Phoenix, are specially trained and qualified to provide pregnancy massage to soon to be moms.

For Mother's Day 2008, Spa Phoenix introduces our New Mom Massage program, a series of four 30-minute massage treatments designed to ease a woman's stresses while she's carrying her child, and to ease the changes to her body that occur after birth.

Jessica, herself a new mother, says, "I had a baby nine months ago, and know first-hand which areas a mom holds stress in, and how important it is to diminish that stress through massage."

Stresses come from a new mother's rapid transition from her pre-pregnancy self, to the physical and emotional evolutions of pregnancy (changes in chemistry, shape, center of gravity), and finally, to the body after baby's birth (lack of sleep, new muscle movements, getting back into pre-pregnancy shape).

Massage improves circulation throughout the body, reducing the post-partum swelling that many women experience.

A massage therapist can help a new mother with proper stretching of tight, sore muscles, easing muscular tension and prolonging the massage's benefits

New Mom Massage: four 30-minute treatments, including two prenatal sessions, and after baby's birth, two post-natal sessions: $180
