Yes! As with any population, there are times where massage may be a contraindication, but they tend to be associated with high risk conditions such as preeclampsia. Massage does not, and cannot, cause a miscarriage.
-
Prenatal massage is not a one-size-fits-all approach; it is tailored to address your specific needs and concerns. Massage supports a healthy pregnancy by relieving muscular tension, improving circulation, improving emotional wellbeing, and reducing stress, while supporting your changing posture, and preparing your body for labor.
Perinatal massage is not limited to pregnancy; it extends into the postpartum period, aiding recovery by addressing muscle soreness, reducing edema / bloating, and promoting healing.
A big difference in prenatal massage is the positioning—your session will be mainly or fully side-lying with plenty of bolsters and pillows to keep you comfortable, safe, and aligned.
-
Yes! While many massage establishments may not “allow” clients to receive massage in the first trimester, there is no scientific basis or contraindication for massage in the first trimester. Massage does not, and cannot, cause a miscarriage. Massage can be beneficial in the first trimester to treat common symptoms like fatigue, nausea, and bodily discomforts. The massage therapist can work with positioning that feels comfortable and reduces the possible onset of nausea or lightheadedness. The massage approach overall will likely be more restorative.
