Pregnancy Massage

Did you know The Massage Store offers Prenatal Massage? 


Prenatal massage isn't to be thought of as just a luxury to the expectant mother, but it offers many health benefits to her.  Pregnancy massage helps lower back pain, improve sleep, lower anxiety, improve her mood, and can even help prepare her for a smoother delivery. We have a full article on prental/pregnancy massage on our website.

Several of our therapists have additional training in prenatal massage, and would love to help during this exciting time.  If you would like to book a prenatal massage, please click here for our current availability.  We look forward to seeing you!

Exercise & Massage Go Hand in Hand

Spring is here, the weather is nice and warm (usually!), drawing people out to hike, bike, and generally work out more - which is great!

Keep in mind though, that exercising too vigorously can cause muscle tension, inflammation and even injury.

Adding a massage to your routine can greatly help you achieve the fitness results you desire. We recently met someone who is a fitness fanatic, but suffers from extreme muscle tension, causing tightness and soreness. She rarely receives a massage, and after just a few minutes of of massage, could already see immediate results.

Just remember to balance your fitness schedule to ensure you can safely meet all of your goals.
