Many women have been led to believe it isn’t safe to get a massage during this period, and sadly, many massage therapists have also come to see pregnant women as delicate time-bombs.
While it’s always important to check with your primary care provider before booking your prenatal massage, I have the experience and education to know how to ensure a safe, relaxing experience for you.
During the first three months, your symptoms are largely a result of your body adjusting to the influx of powerful hormones. A prenatal massage can help by relieving some of the headaches, constipation, and nausea you’ve been experiencing during the early phase of your pregnancy.
The first trimester can be a stressful time. Aside from the physical benefits of a massage, simply taking the time to relax deeply will do wonders for your overall well-being.
