Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy massage is obviously practiced on the pregnant woman.  This can include any time during the pregnancy, but is often especially desired and helpful late-term.  Women who can no longer lie on their stomachs appreciate the chance to use a special pregnancy massage pillow which allows that position for at least a little while!  Of course, like anything else in pregnancy massage, the medical needs and restrictions of the individual client must be taken into account.  A complete history and doctor’s referral are best.  Pregnancy has special needs when it comes to massage, and a therapist should take advanced training to ensure that those needs are met and no harm is done to mother or child.
