Massage can also help keep you relaxed as well as relieve pain, especially low back pain. At A Better Choice we have two very skilled Massage therapist who are experienced in prenatal massage. We offer “The Body Cushion System” which allows you to lay on your stomach, or we use the “Side-Lying” position for anyone in their third trimester or for those who just prefer this position.

We also offer discounted prices for those who want to come in on regular basis. We believe it is so important to take care of your self during this time that we try to make it affordable for all.
