Living in Washington, DC is beautiful, but keeping up with the busy and crowded streets while you’re expecting can be challenging and exhausting, not to mention the swollen feet. Through each stage of your pregnancy, your body will change and adapt to provide space for your little one to grow. As beautiful as this transformation is, it can still be exhausting and leave you feeling achy, sore, and in need of pampering. So you need a Washington DC Prenatal Massage!
Prenatal massages are extremely beneficial during pregnancy. A certified Massage Therapist is a great, safe and healthy way to relieve normal pregnancy discomforts like swollen feet, lower back tension, sore muscles and joints, stress on weight-bearing joints, headaches, fatigue, neck pain, leg cramps and stiffness, circulation issues and anxiety. Massage can also improve your sleep and stabilize your hormones and overall mental health.
Most massage therapists suggest waiting until after you are 15 weeks or after the 1st trimester. After that, you can look into scheduling yourself a well-deserved massage before the baby arrives! You can book monthly appointments until around 27 weeks. Around 27 weeks to 36 weeks, you can book a massage twice a month and then weekly appointments from 36 weeks until you give birth. A healthy and relaxed mom-to-be is great for your growing baby too. Plus, who doesn’t love to feel like royalty? Not sure who offers prenatal massages?
