Our Prenatal Massage In Richmond Nurtures Comfort For Expectant Mothers
Researchers have found that prenatal massage can improve overall well-being during pregnancy, and many of our Richmond clients are referred by their doctors. Benefits of prenatal massage include higher levels of serotonin and dopamine - "feel good" hormones - along with relief from leg and back pain, lower risk of premature labor, and higher fetal birth weight.
Massage has also proven to be beneficial in the postpartum period and even during labor, where some women report that massage therapy was helpful in managing the pain associated with childbirth. Book your appointment for a prenatal massage in Richmond by clicking on the link.
Why Get A Pregnancy Massage?
When you're expecting, your body goes through a myriad of changes - some are magical and some can take their toll on you mentally and physically. A pregnancy massage can not only make you feel relaxed and pampered but there are also several therapeutic benefits that a prenatal massage offers.
- Pain relief for lower back pain, nerve pain, and other aches and pains
- Reduces anxiety and depression and increases endorphins, oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine levels, which can lead to higher birth weight
- Improved sleep quality
- Reduces swelling
- Decreases cortisol and norepinephrine levels for a healthy placenta
- Prepares the body for labor and birth, potentially leading to shorter labor and less need for medication
A prenatal massage makes a great gift for expectant parents. Call Nirvana Bodywork today at 804-937-9830 for prenatal massage pricing and scheduling information in the Richmond area.

It's important to seek care from a certified prenatal massage therapist. At Nirvana Bodywork, our experienced team knows how to address your specific pregnancy and massage needs and deliver a healing touch that will revitalize your body and your spirit.
