A Specialty Massage
Prenatal massage is a modified form of massage geared toward the needs of pregnant women and their changing bodies. As a woman carries her baby, it changes her center of gravity and places a lot of stress on the body - mainly hips/pelvic area, lower back, abdominal muscles, as well as shoulders, neck, and the added weight on legs and feet. The body is also opening up and expanding to accommodate the baby, which tends to loosen ligaments and can make the pelvic joints less stable and can change her posture.A trained prenatal massage therapist is educated on how to know where a pregnant woman may have sore and swollen areas and may be able to provide some relief. The therapist will also know which are the best techniques or modalities to use, as well as specific areas to avoid that can be unsafe for the mother, as well as the baby.
