Can I have a massage if I'm pregnant?
Conditions Helped:
Massage can be extremely beneficial for pregnant women however it is important for pregnant women to check with their Doctor/Midwife first. In fact, one of the most beneficial times for massage may be during pregnancy.
Some practitioners use a pregnancy massage table which is designed to accommodate a pregnant woman's belly. Others use specifically designed pillows called 'bolsters' to position a woman comfortably on her side. This helps especially during later stages of pregnancy. Lying on your side is often the most comfortable postion.
