Pregnancy massage is designed to reduce the stress and discomfort of pregnancy and promote well-being to cope with the changes occurring to the body during this time. The massage is more of a relaxation, deep tissues massage focusing on the areas where discomfort is experienced during pregnancy. Trigger point therapy is not to be utllised during this time as relaxin is produced to allow the female body to adapt for preparation of the changes that occur during this time. Relaxin increases the flexibility of various joints for ease of delivery. A pregnancy massage therapist is trained in the changes that occur during each trimester as well as specific conditions that may present during pregnancy.

During the consultation the pregnancy massage therapist will take detailed information such as blood pressure and any presentations during pregnancy.

Post pregnancy is just as important to receive to assist the body in the recovery process. The pregnancy massage practitioner is trained in the presentations that may present post-partum.
