Prenatal massage, or pregnancy massage, uses mild to moderate pressure similar to Swedish massage. The focus on areas such as your lower back, hips, and legs can help reduce pregnancy body aches, reduce stress, and ease muscle tension. You can get a massage at any time during your pregnancy. With the use of side-lying positions and bolsters, pillows, and blankets you are comfortable during the massage, and deeper pressure can be applied if desired. POST PREGNANCY is also a very good time to receive massage, and should not be overlooked.
