MOM AND BABY CAN BENEFIT FROM MASSAGE

Pampering pregnant women with massage is not just a popular gift idea, it’s also beneficial to the health and wellness of new moms and their babies. Elements Massage™ Buckhead has six, specialty prenatal therapists on staff who bring more than pain and stress relief to the massage table. They are trained in every stage of pregnancy to help women going through changes with their body.

The massage techniques used in prenatal and postpartum massage aid with hormonal fluctuations, swelling ankles and soreness, clearing milk ducts to stimulate milk production for breastfeeding and improving sleep through relaxation.

“Certification and continuing education is required before therapists can even touch the client,” says Rita Burpee, co-owner of Elements Massage Buckhead with her husband, Ralph. “If a pregnant or postpartum woman is thinking about massage therapy, they should know what to ask the massage studio. At Elements, we match each client with the proper therapist based on their massage needs.”

Each and every client at Elements Massage Buckhead is paired with the right prenatal massage therapist by determining the type of massage desired, specific pressure needs and individual issues to provide the best customer experience. Burpee says it is critical for pregnant women or anyone purchasing the gift of massage for a pregnant or postpartum mom to ask about the therapist’s education:

· Are they certified?

· What is their experience with prenatal and postpartum massage?

· Do they have the right equipment for taking care of these kinds of massages?

The personal bond between a massage therapist and client can be so strong, there have been times in the past when the Burpee’s therapists have been asked to join the client in the delivery room. This trust underscores the importance of having a qualified and certified therapist in the room.

“Massage is an amazing gift for pregnant women and new moms,” says Burpee. “It’s the gift of time. Her time may no longer be her own, but while she is with the therapist, it is all about her and taking care of her needs.”

Elements Massage™ Buckhead is located at 4285 Roswell Rd., Suite #4, in Atlanta. The studio welcomes walk-ins and offers a membership program that allows clients to receive regular, discounted massage therapy services.
