Pregnancy and motherhood bring incredible changes — and sometimes, discomfort. At Millwood’s Prenatal Massage, my goal is to help you feel supported, relaxed, and cared for at every stage.
Whether you are expecting, recovering after birth, or simply need time to rest and restore, you’ll find a safe space here designed just for you.
A classic and highly effective technique combining long, gliding strokes, kneading, friction, tapping, and light vibration to relax muscles, enhance circulation, and promote a sense of overall well‑being. It’s the go-to choice for general relaxation, stress reduction, and easing muscle tension.
Delivers firm, sustained pressure to the deeper layers of muscle and fascia. Ideal for addressing chronic tension, adhesions, or specific musculoskeletal issues, this style focuses on releasing tight knots and improving range of motion.
Specifically tailored for pregnancy and postpartum needs, this gentle technique safely relieves backaches, joint pain, swelling, and stress. It respects both maternal comfort and fetal safety, adapting pressure and positioning throughout the session for optimal support.
A precise, therapeutic technique targeting joint mechanics. Through gentle, passive movements, this approach enhances joint flexibility, reduces stiffness, and relieves pain—making it ideal for clients seeking improved mobility and functional restoration.
An ancient technique using suction cups to lift soft tissue and promote localized blood flow. It supports muscle relaxation and can help alleviate tightness or soreness by encouraging circulation and stimulating healing responses.
A dynamic, mat-based bodywork blending acupressure, yoga-like stretching, and rhythmic compression. Its active and holistic approach increases flexibility, improves energy flow, and enhances muscular relaxation—without oils or a massage table.
Targets specific hyper-irritable knots in muscle—known as “trigger points”—with sustained pressure to deactivate them. Especially helpful for relieving referred pain, tension headaches, and muscular tightness in localized areas.
Focuses on pinpointing tight bands or areas of muscular tension and applying controlled pressure to release them. This highly precise approach restores mobility and relieves discomfort for a targeted therapeutic effect.
A gentle, non-invasive technique that uses light touch—often no more than the weight of a nickel—to assess and release tension within the craniosacral system. It’s credited with promoting deep relaxation, relieving headaches, neck pain, and supporting the body's natural healing responses.
These different types of modalities can be used in your session depending on what you need that day. Manual Osteopathic treatment is customized according to your condition.
A patient-active manual therapy where the client voluntarily contracts specific muscles against a therapist’s counterforce. This method gently relaxes tight muscles through autogenic or reciprocal inhibition, improves joint mobility, and reduces pain. Developed in the late 1940s and widely used in osteopathy and physiotherapy.
A hands-on method targeting the fascia—the connective tissue enveloping muscles—to alleviate pain and restore mobility. By applying sustained pressure and gentle stretching, this technique releases fascial restrictions, breaks down adhesions, and enhances flexibility.
A gentle, rhythmic massage focusing on the lymphatic system to stimulate lymph flow, reduce swelling, and support detoxification. Commonly used in complex decongestive therapy and effective in managing lymphedema, post-surgical swelling, or general fluid retention.
A light-touch approach that assesses and subtly adjusts cranial, spinal, and sacral tissues to ease tension in the central nervous system's connective structures. It promotes deep relaxation, reduces headaches, neck pain, and supports the body's self-healing mechanisms.
A precise manual method using gentle, passive joint movements to restore proper alignment, reduce stiffness, increase range of motion, and relieve pain—especially beneficial for clients seeking improved functional mobility.
A streamlined osteopathic technique combining muscle energy methods, joint articulation, and gentle manipulation to identify and correct structural imbalances. It encourages natural realignment and restoration of joint function without forceful adjustments.
A subtle manual therapy that addresses the motion and connective systems of internal organs (viscera). By gently mobilizing the connective tissue surrounding organs, it aims to enhance organ function, improve mobility, relieve chronic pain or digestive issues, and support holistic system balance. prenatal massage south
