Many people asked me if a pregnant woman is suitable for a massage.
OF COURSE. They are the ones who need it most. Imagine carrying a water balloon around for 6 months. (that's because normally, the 1st trimester is not visible and not suitable having massages)
Many pregnant women experience lower back ache, swollen legs, varicose veins and get tired easily. During the last trimester, it will be so uncomfortable that it will affect their sleep.
It is important that the mother-to-be discuss with us her concerns and the areas which she find uncomfortable and would like us to focus on. History of pregnancy should be highlighted if there's any prior bleeding or concerns.
An ideal massage should be around 1.5 hrs. The therapist will first start to massage the back on the massage chair. Even if you are about to due, you can still sit comfortably to be massaged. I had a lady who was 37 weeks when she came to us, she enjoyed it very much.
After around 20 mins on the chair, we will bring you to the massage bed. Depending on how big your baby is, we will recommend you to lie sideways. The therapist will then work on your back, legs and hands.
Most mothers to be feel so relax during the massage that they will doze off. They will only wake when they need to change side or at the end of the massage. They even commented that have never slept so well during the whole pregnancy because of the size or the baby is always kicking.
Enjoy the Gift of Giving and Receiving !
