Massage therapy during pregnancy is an important part of prenatal care and can be often be done throughout the entire nine months of pregnancy.  The benefits of prenatal massage for the mother include many physiological, emotional and psychological benefits.  Commonly these include reduction of common discomforts such as back pain, headaches, cramps, tension, fatigue, swelling, and constipation.  

Additional benefits may include increased circulation which may aid in delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the mother and baby, stabilization of hormones which helps relieve anxiety and depression, increased quality of sleep, and a strengthened immune system.

A frequently requested modality, prenatal massage is an excellent addition to a massage therapists skill set and it has the potential to evolve into a specialization.  It is a healthy way to reduce an expecting mother's stress and promote her overall wellness.  As a massage therapist it is important to receive specialized training in prenatal massage in order to provide safe and effective care for expecting mothers.
