Pregnancy Massage

Many expectant mums enjoy the many benefits Pregnancy Massage can provide.

Using a specifically designed Adelaide pregnancy massage pillow (which is like a mattress with a hole cut out for your belly) mums can lay flat out – face down, so all the muscles of the back can be worked on with good pressure.

There is mixed information on the suitability of massage on pregnant women. Some reports suggest massage in the first trimester is dangerous, and during the last trimester can bring on the birth.

Do your homework to make sure you are well informed before going for a pregnancy massage, and rest assured – you are in complete control during the treatment.

If something doesn’t feel right, let the therapist know. If you are not enjoying it, finish the session early.

Speak with other mums about how they have used massage during their pregnancy. Some avoid it… others swear by it.
