Red Moon Wellness 5th Ave bet. Massage during all trimesters of pregnancy with expert licensed massage therapists. We are all highly experienced in prenatal and postpartum massage and will offer precise deep tissue work during your perinatal period - we will not shy away from deep pressure out of ignorance of what is safe during pregnancy as is so common to find elsewhere.
You can safely receive massage with us during all trimesters of pregnancy. With a practice owned by a reproductive health expert, perinatal massage instructor, birth doula, lactation counselor and childbirth educator, you can be assured that you are in the best hands at Red Moon Wellness. Owner, Lena DeGloma has experience teaching prenatal massage to other massage therapists and has written state-approved prenatal massage curriculum for an accredited massage therapy program here in NY.
We have helped many pregnant clients with sciatic pain, swelling edema of the hands and feet, low back pain, SI sacroiliac joint paint, insomnia, digestive trouble, leg cramps, restless leg syndrome, stress relief, and relief of general muscle tension and pain. Many of our pregnant clients purchase a massage package and see us throughout their prenatal and postpartum period.
Studies show the greatest benefit for those who receive regular massage during their pregnancy although even one or two sessions can be highly beneficial. Evidence-based health benefits of perinatal massage are described in the section below. During prenatal massage , you will be able to lie comfortably on your side with the support of pillows and bolsters during the first trimester you may lie face down. We will focus on your specific needs depending on your stage of pregnancy and your individual experience.
Many of our clients who have had prenatal massage elsewhere tell us that this is the first time they've had prenatal massage that has used deep enough pressure and been effective at pain relief.
