Prenatal Massage: Therapeutic Care During Pregnancy
Pregnancy transforms the body in ways that generate pain, tension and fatigue. Prenatal massage, well applied, is one of the most beneficial forms of care a mother-to-be can receive. Discover how it works and what makes it different.
The body during pregnancy
Pregnancy shifts the center of gravity, increases weight by 10-15kg, softens ligaments through relaxin, and pushes the cardiovascular system to 40% above normal capacity — creating a constellation of pain and discomfort that specialized prenatal massage directly addresses.
What makes prenatal massage different
Specialized positioning, knowledge of contraindicated pressure points, adapted pressure and pregnancy-safe oils — prenatal massage requires specific training, not just a conventional massage adapted.
