Women's Services & Community Service Classes

Massage is a safe, natural method of easing the discomforts of pregnancy – before, during and after delivery. Research shows that pregnant women who receive massage therapy have fewer obstetric and postnatal complications. Our massage therapists are licensed by the Ohio Medical Board with certification in prenatal and postpartum massage. Services are offered at the TriHealth Fitness & Health Pavilion and McCullough-Hyde Memorial Hospital. The Benefits of massage include:

• Promoting movement of blood and lymph, which helps your heart, and reduces swelling and fluid retention.
• Reducing pain and pressure to the nervous system, relieving strain on your back muscles
• Before delivery, re-energizing you and clearing your thoughts to focus on the experience ahead.

Prenatal Massage
Prior to massage, it is important that you speak with your health care provider to ensure that massage is appropriate for you and your pregnancy.

Postpartum Massage
Postpartum massage has a variety of benefits, including:

• Reducing musculoskeletal pain
• Decreasing postpartum depression
• Stimulating the uterus to return to its pre-pregnancy size and position
• Contributing to rehabilitation of abdominal skin, muscles and organs
• Stimulating chemicals in your body that improve breastfeeding
• Promoting structural realignment of your spine and pelvis
