Deep-tissue massage, also known as deep-muscle massage, addresses the musculature and fascia sub-layer. Deep-tissue massage helps with chronic muscular pain, reduces pain related to inflammation (which can be caused by arthritis and tendinitis), and helps with injury rehabilitation. Massage therapy during pregnancy is a wonderful complementary choice for prenatal care.
It is a healthy way to reduce stress and promote overall wellness. Massage relieves many of the normal discomforts experienced during pregnancy, such as backaches, stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches and edema (or swelling). In addition, massage encourages blood and lymph circulation, helps to relax nervous tension -- which aids in better sleep.

Massage, bodywork and somatic therapies are defined as the application of various techniques to the muscular structure and soft tissues of the human body. Specifically, massages are the application of soft-tissue manipulation techniques to the body. These are generally intended to reduce stress and fatigue while improving circulation.
You may dress however you wish. I will show you into the massage room, go over your health history and goals for the massage session, and then leave the room to allow you to undress and get onto the table. You should feel free to remove as much or as little of your clothing as you wish. It will be more effective if you are fully undressed, including your underwear, but your comfort level is most important.
