Prenatal Massage

Massage therapy during pregnancy is a wonderful complementary choice for prenatal care. It is a healthy way to reduce stress and promote overall wellness. Massage relieves many of the normal discomforts experienced during pregnancy, such as backaches, stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches and swelling. In addition, massage reduces stress on weight-bearing joints, encourages blood and lymph circulation, and helps to relax nervous tension. These effects can result in better sleep-and can help relieve depression or anxiety caused by hormonal changes.

At Vitality Massage and Spa, our therapists take extra care to ensure our prenatal clients are comfortable. Our therapists use side-lying positioning with supportive cushions which alleviates the extra strain on the lower back and pelvic areas when the pressure of massage techniques are applied. Extra strain in these areas can cause unnecessary back pain and discomfort. Through the second trimester of pregnancy, we also ask clients to lay on their backs with a small cushioned wedge placed under one hip which provides a slight elevation. Depending on where you are in your pregnancy, your therapist may utilize such massage techniques as reflexology, Swedish massage or certain techniques that address your specific requests and needs.

Fascial Blading Massage

Fascial blading is a form of gentle, instrument assisted soft tissue mobilisation. The blade itself acts as an extension of the practitioner’s hands and allows the clinician to gently identify and breakdown scar tissue adhesions and fascial restrictions.

Fascia is the cling-film like tissue that connects everything in the body. It runs along and through all our muscles, organs, vessels and nerves and even attaches on to our skeleton, forming a continuous 3D web of connective tissue. Traumas or scars to any area or the body can lead to problems in other areas through disruption of this connective tissue web.

What happens when fascia is injured?

When healthy and uninjured, fascia is naturally lubricated to allow it to flow

and guide over and through all our body’s tissues. When there is damage to the fascia through injury or surgery (medical or small cosmetic procedures), this lubrication becomes thicker. This makes the fascia stick to itself and the surrounding muscles and tissues, thus forming internal scarring. These scars and fascial restrictions have been found to cause changes in the musculoskeletal system. This in turn can limit normal movement in joints and leading to pain, dysfunction and ultimately injury.

What does fascial blading do?

The fascial blade gently breaksdown the scar tissue, both externally and internally, thus correcting joint function, reducing pain, improving flexibility and normalising posture and core stability. This, for many people, can be the ideal solution to aches，stiffness and pains that may not have resolved with traditional methods.
