PREGNANCY MASSAGE

PRENATAL

Pregnancy Massage is the prenatal use of massage therapy to support the physiologic, structural, and emotional well-being of both mother and fetus.

Certain pregnancies are considered to be high risk. Massage and/or stimulation of the abdomen, legs or other parts of the body may increase the risk to either the mother or the baby. Therefore, massage is contraindicated for high-risk pregnancies unless specified by the woman’s medical practitioner.

Massage in the first trimester of pregnancy is prohibited and I will only perform this type of massage after 15 weeks into the pregnancy and as long as it is not a high-risk pregnancy and your medical practitioner is comfortable with you receiving this treatment.
