Pregnancy is a very happy time for women but all that joy is also accompanied by some anxiety and various types of discomforts. Pregnant women have, therefore, been turning to Pregnancy Massage to alleviate their aches and pains and soothe their nerves. Pregnancy Massage should only be conducted by professional and qualified Massage Specialists.

Of course, the very first thing a pregnant woman should do before getting Pregnancy Massage would be to get clearance from her Obstetrician or General Practitioner. After that, she should look for a truly qualified and experienced Massage Specialist who has been trained in Pregnancy Massage. Such qualifications are necessary so that the Specialist will know the specific do's and don'ts of bodywork when applied to pregnant women. In her condition, a pregnant woman can never be too careful. Our full qualified Massage Specialists are experienced in Pregnancy Massage so you can rest-assured that you're in good hands during your treatment.

Pregnant women are in such a delicate condition that a Pregnancy Massage should only be conducted during the final 2 trimesters.

Our properly trained and experienced Massage Specialists are well-versed in the precautions for Pregnancy Massage. Foot massage, for example, should be done with care. Despite the fact that the feet of pregnant women are often swollen and are burdened by their extra weight, thereby, needing soothing foot massage, there are critical acupuncture and reflexology points in the feet that should be avoided because their stimulation could trigger premature labour. Improper leg massage can likewise cause uterine spasms if acupuncture points in the ankle and below the knee are stimulated.

The massage table and the position of the pregnant woman during the massage therapy session is also given attention. A pregnant woman should not be made to lie on her back because the full weight of the uterus on her veins will block the free flow of blood to and from her heart. We let the pregnant woman lie on her left side at an angle of 45 degrees. A full body pillow can provide additional support.
