Perfect Pregnancy Massage

From The Dallas Morning News, Saturday January 21, 2006

WHERE: L’Image Plano, 1900 Preston Road, Suite 385, Plano, 972-964-7577, www.limageplano.com

WHY: Toting a human being around all day is hard work.

THE BASICS: With the Plano demographic in mind, L’Image has a massage therapist trained in the art and careful science of pregnancy massage. Though unsuitable for the first trimester, pregnancy massage can help provide relief for everything from constipation to leg cramps. Special pillows support you, only baby-safe essential oils are used, and therapists know where and how to massage you with a minimum of risk. Though many women don’t like their stomachs touched, those who don’t mind can get a stomach massage that relaxes the placenta and helps blood flow.

THIS ABOUT THAT: “Massaging the stomach calms the fetus and helps the baby sleep so the mother can relax,” says massage therapist Chris Alexander.

THE TAB: $80 for 60 minutes
