Pregnancy Massage
What is Pregnancy Massage?
Pregnancy massage is a massage therapy specifically designed for pregnant women. It is also called pre-natal massage. It differs from regular massage in many ways. The pregnant body must be supported using pillows and correct positioning to ensure the comfort and safety of both mother and baby. Expectant mothers are placed in a side-lying position to ensure no additional stress or stretch is placed on the muscles and ligaments around the belly.
Is Pregnancy Massage Safe?
Yes! In most cases it is safe. If you are considering prenatal massage it is always advisable that you gain the consent of your doctor or maternal care provider and ensure that you engage the services of an experienced and appropriately trained prenatal massage therapist. There is an increased risk of blood clots during pregnancy so to avoid the possibility of releasing clots it is important to stay away from deep tissue massage and opt for specifically tailored prenatal massage. You can be confident that the prenatal massage you receive at Green Valley will be done by a suitably trained prenatal massage specialist, ensuring the safety and comfort of both you and your baby.
