When it comes to pregnancy massage, it can be prenatal, postnatal or during the labor process. Many people think pregnancy massage is only for prenatal and post-natal, but it can also help during labor process.
Prenatal Massage
In a prenatal massage, the massage therapist puts more focus on reducing pregnancy discomforts and pain in the areas of lower back, hips and legs. They also help and enhances the physiological and emotional well-being of both the mother and fetus. The massage also helps to strengthen and prepares the muscle which are useful for a natural delivery process.
Long delivery process is a common fear for many pregnant females. Most females do wish to have a natural delivery and without epidural or other drugs. During labor, certain massage techniques helps in easing pain and anxiety. In some cases, it also helps with shortening the delivery process. We always make sure to educate our clients with those techniques as it will bring more awareness to them.

Post-natal massage is mainly focused on toning the new mother’s body, it helps in reducing fluid retention and helps the body be brought back to balance and better shape. In many cases, it re-energizes the new mother, which improves her in ability to bond with her new baby.
We always recommend pregnant females to consult with their doctors or midwives if they are suitable for massage. The goal is to have a good mental state and an amazing birthing experience.
