Mother's Embrace offers the following types of massage therapy through our staff of licensed therapists:
Prenatal Massage- This very special type of massage relieves many of the common discomforts that go along with pregnancy, such as back aches and sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, leg cramps, headaches and heartburn. It increases circulation and promotes total relaxation to allow for a better night's sleep. Prenatal massage is also known to raise endorphin levels, which decreases mood swings. Great gift for moms-to-be (30 min-$35/60 min-$70/ 90 min-$100)
Swedish Massage - Specifically designed to relax the muscles, this type of massage works with the body's circulation to enhance oxygen flow to the blood and to rid the muscles of naturally occuring toxins that bind the muscle fibers together. (30 min-$35/ 60 min-$70/ 90 min-$100)
Deep Tissue Massage - Focusing on the deeper layers of the muscle, this wonderful form of massage aims to release chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes, deep pressure and/or friction. This may focus on one area and be combined with Swedish techniques. (30 min- $35/ 60 min-$70/ 90 min- $100)
Sports Massage - This massage is geared towards athletes and the specific muscle groups used for their activity.
