The treatment in practice

Massage throughout pregnancy and labor has been shown to provide a wide range of benefits to both mother and baby. Some of these well reported results include:
For women receiving massage shortly before and during labor, both in studies and in our experience in clinic, women experience significantly less pain, have shorter labors and need less medication.
