More info Pregnancy is a time in a woman's life, where massage can be a blessing to help relieve the inevitable increased muscle and joint pains. Both pre natal and post partum massage are helpful. Massage will help reduce pain and discomfort, improve sleep and digestion, reduce stress & anxiety, and improve movement.
Massage is safe at any stage of your pregnancy unless you have high risk pregnancy.

The first trimester has the highest risk of miscarriage due to the complexities of the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, but the effectiveness of massage in managing first trimester can be clearly indicated showing massage as a positivecontribution to the health of mother and baby".  (Massage & Myotherapy Association policy guidelines, 2015).
