The 10 Most Common Questions From Our Prenatal Clients
1. I've heard it's not safe to get massage too early in my pregnancy. How early can I safely get a massage ?
 You can come for a massage as early in your pregnancy as you want. Your therapist can address your concerns and stresses while avoiding any massage to your abdomen or to reflexology points that are contraindicated. Points that are contraindicated include some points around the ankle and some around your sacrum, among others. A simple Swedish massage over these reflex points will not have an adverse effect; only sustained contact with thumbs over the exact points so you can feel quite safe. DO examine your own feelings however. If you have any doubts, you should wait until you feel psychologically comfortable with massage during the early stages. Finally, nausea may affect your ability to come in. Don't force yourself; wait until you feel better or, alternatively, pay attention to when your daily nausea cycles and try to book a massage for your normally "best" time of day.
2. How late in my pregnancy can I get a massage?
As late as you want, including right up to the beginning of your labor. It will feel great and distract you from the waiting. You could even, as of 40 weeks into your pregnancy, get a Massage To Encourage Labor session where you (or you and a partner) learn the reflexology points to stimulate your labor.

 Control Yourself?
Here at Sage we are always recommending Kegels for our pregnant clients. Kegels are strengthening exercises for the pelvic floor. They can help prevent urinary incontinence after pregnancy as well as for older people.
An article in the New York Times "Control Yourself" by C. Claiborne Ray mentions a new study in the Journal of Gerontology that proves the lasting effectiveness of these simple exercises. If you are pregnant and would like to know how to do these easy exercises, read our " The Big Three of Prenatal Exercise."
Contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
Feel your best!

Sage Spa Stretching Session Stretching is an important part of any workout. Not only does stretching help counter the soreness that typically follows a workout, it also lengthens the muscles, improving range of motion and flexibility. Stretching also helps prevent injury during exercise. But even if you don't engage in more intense forms of physical activity, stretching should be incorporated into your daily routine. It improves circulation, decreases stress, and releases tension.
"Stretching is a powerful tool that can bring you new ease of movement, an increase in your physical capabilities, and deep composure." Benefits from Stretching - relief from pain
- increased energy levels
- increased flexibility
- better range of motion of the joints
- greater circulation
- relaxation and stress relief
- enhanced muscular coordination
- improved posture
- greater sense of well-being

Do you treat yourself as well as you treat your friends and family?
By TARA PARKER-POPE, NY Times
That simple question is the basis for a burgeoning new area of psychological research called self-compassion - how kindly people view themselves. People who find it easy to be supportive and understanding to others, it turns out, often score surprisingly low on self-compassion tests, berating themselves for perceived failures like being overweight or not exercising.
The research suggests that giving ourselves a break and accepting our imperfections may be the first step toward better health. People who score high on tests of self-compassion have less depression and anxiety, and tend to be happier and more optimistic. Preliminary data suggest that self-compassion can even influence how much we eat and may help some people lose weight.
