Women at risk for preterm labor, with blood clots or clotting disorders, or who have other ailments should discuss these with their Massage Therapist.  Your therapist may recommend that you have a written notice from your doctor or midwife before receiving massage therapy during pregnancy.  Massage during the first trimester is up to the therapist, the woman and her doctor.  Massage has never been associated with an increased risk of miscarriage.

Come in and enjoy pregnancy massage on our comfortable Pregnancy Table, which allows you to lie face down on your stomach (there is a supported hole in the table), or lie on your side with pillows for support.  When you are face up, you will be in a reclining position.
