Body Align Myotherapy & Massage

Body Align Myotherapy & Massage in Clifton Hill, Victoria, provides massage treatment plans for pregnant women. We can relieve the pain associated with pregnancy through our soothing massage and myotherapy treatments, regardless of where you are in your journey.

Pregnancy is an amazing and beautiful time in a woman's life. However, it may cause some unwelcome aches and pains. The following are the most common complaints during pregnancy:

• Acute or chronic pain
• Backache and muscle tightness
• Hip and buttock pain
• Headaches
• Swelling
• Calf cramps
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Sciatica discomfort
• General discomfort

Our myotherapists will help you prepare your body for all stages of pregnancy while keeping you free of these common complaints. We will also address your muscle imbalances and postural changes that cause fatigue and pain during pregnancy. A home program will be prescribed to you, which may include stretching, strengthening and corrective postural exercises. These exercises will be tailored to your specific complaint and are safe to perform during your pregnancy. This is critical in removing the source of the pain and preventing further problems.

It is just as important to keep your body in peak condition after giving birth as it was during pregnancy. Myotherapy can help with labour pain, as well as the pain and discomfort associated with breastfeeding or nursing, carrying your baby, and lifting them in and out of a crib or baby seat. If these issues are not addressed promptly, they can lead to chronic pain.

Carissa and the rest of the team at Body Align Myotherapy & Massage have completed additional pregnancy training, so you can be confident that you are in good, caring hands.
