    When you mentioned that getting prenatal massage therapy can help reduce swollen hands and feet I immediately thought about my sister. My sister is pregnant and she’s always complaining about how her feet and hand swell up. I’m going to share this article with her and I’m going to schedule an appointment with a massage therapist to see if the massages make her feel better.
