What is Prenatal Tuina Medical Massage?

Tuina (pronounced "twee-nah") is a traditional Chinese medical massage that involves the use of hands, fingers, elbows, and other techniques to apply pressure to specific points on the body. Treatment is modified for prenatal care, Tuina massage focuses on alleviating the common discomforts associated with pregnancy while promoting overall wellness for both mother and baby. The treatment utilizes Acupressure which helps to relieve the symptoms in a variety of conditions. 

The Benefits of Prenatal Tuina Medical Massage

• Relieves Pregnancy-Related Pain and Discomfort
• Reduces Back Pain: As your baby grows, the added weight can put a strain on your back muscles. Tuina massage helps to alleviate this pain by targeting and relaxing the affected areas.
• Eases Sciatic Nerve Pain: Sciatica is a common issue during pregnancy, caused by the pressure of the uterus on the sciatic nerve. Our massage techniques can help relieve this pressure and reduce pain.
• Minimizes Joint Pain: Hormonal changes during pregnancy can cause joint pain, especially in the hips and knees. Tuina massage can help reduce inflammation and improve joint mobility.
• Promotes Relaxation and Reduces Stress
• Balance Emotions: Pregnancy can be an emotional rollercoaster. Tuina massage promotes relaxation and helps balance emotions, providing a sense of calm and well-being.
• Improves Sleep Quality: Many expectant mothers experience sleep disturbances. Regular Tuina massage can improve sleep patterns by promoting relaxation and reducing physical discomfort.
• Enhances Circulation and Reduces Swelling
• Improves Blood Flow: Proper circulation is crucial during pregnancy for both mother and baby. Tuina massage enhances blood flow, ensuring that essential nutrients and oxygen reach the placenta.
• Reduces Edema: Swelling in the legs and feet is common during pregnancy. By stimulating the lymphatic system, Tuina massage helps reduce fluid retention and swelling.
• Supports Optimal Fetal Positioning
• Encourages Proper Alignment: Our skilled practitioners use specific techniques to encourage optimal fetal positioning, which can lead to a smoother delivery process.
• Boosts Immune Function
• Strengthens Immunity: Regular Tuina massage can boost the immune system, helping expectant mothers stay healthy throughout their pregnancy.

See What some of our clients are saying about our Tuina Prenatal Massage: 

I started my journey with Dr. Rosemarie Allen when I was pregnant with my fourth baby. My lower back pain was excruciating. Acupuncture saved my life!!!! She is very knowledgeable and explains everything with details. After this session I continued treatment and incorporated her Tuina Medical Massage. For those that have a job that requires a lot of physical work, I would recommend continued treatment with her.                                                                                                     One tip: Please book 90 minutes for the massage!!! Because 1hr is amazing, but imagine how 90 minutes is. After one hour with her....you will end wanting those extra 30 minutes. Hands down to the best in Jax!!!!   -Y.L Jacksonville.
