Massage during pregnancy is also a great way to relieve everyday tension and the general aches and pains your body is suffering. It stimulates your lymphatic system, increasing immunity and the removal of excess toxins, while also stabilizing hormonal levels and balancing the glandular system.

Techniques

Pregnancy massages integrate a variety of techniques. Depending upon where you are in the pregnancy, the massage will utilize Lymphatic Drainage, Swedish massage, light shiatsu and some stretching techniques.

How will I receive my massage?

When receiving pregnancy massage, you are positioned on your side to give the therapist access to your back. Your body will be supported with pillows. You will be properly draped (covered) while the therapist is working, except for the area being massaged.

Safety

Always remember that it is very important you should obtain approval from your obstetrician before receiving any form of massage during pregnancy.

Women with normal, low-risk pregnancies can benefit greatly from massage by a trained massage therapist. However, women in high-risk pregnancies should consult with their doctor or midwife before beginning a massage therapy program. If at any time during the massage you experience discomfort, tell the therapist immediately.
