How do you describe your massage technique for pregnant women?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Body Therapy Services
The massage techniques used depend on the issue that is being addressed. Swedish massage is a nice relaxing massage with long strokes and varying pressure that addresses the center of the muscles. The pressure depends on the situation and circumstances. The work is performed with an understanding of how the muscles work together and oppose each other. In addition, the understanding of muscle layers enables Lori to work within these specific layers without poking and provide optimal relaxation.

How often should I receive massage when I am pregnant?

The Pregnancy Massage Center
Each woman and each pregnancy is different, so there is no standard answer for this question. If you are planning to use massage therapy as an integral part of your prenatal care we suggest once a month in the first trimester, twice a month in the second and third. If you are having a difficult pregnancy with back pain, sharp leg and hip pains or sleeplessness we recommend increasing your session to 1 1 /2 hours or coming once a week in the last trimester.

The answer will depend on the reasons for getting a massage. If a client comes in for injury relief and to relieve chronic tightness that is interfering with their daily lives, weekly sessions maybe necessary for a while to see improvement in relief and healing. For those who use massage as preventative care, once ? twice a month is the norm. Some come in more often just because they enjoy it that much.

Yes! Massage is a very nurturing thing to do for yourself during pregnancy. It can especially help make the latter stages of pregnancy less stressful on your body, relieving backache, shoulder discomfort and sore feet.
