Массаж для беременных

Pregnancy massage (prenatal massage) is a wonderful way to prepare future mums for the birth of their baby.

It is a specialised technique of therapeutic massage aiming at resting and relieving pregnant women from edema ,retentions  and the rest daily changes that occur in our body during pregnancy. Prenatal massage is the complete and full relaxation of the pregnant woman’s body but also the sentimental and mental balance in a period of big and important changes. The treatment protocol includes rhythmic movements and soft pressures that are applied on the soles and the waist, the neck , the back and the upper limbs ,  resulting in the improvement of the blood and lymphatic circulation and the relaxation of the muscles under pressure.
