Pregnancy Massage
Recently I've finished the Reidman course in pregnancy massage. Massage is wonderful, especially when you are in your 3rd trimester, when your belly is big and your body is heavy.
Massage is also a very safe method of treatment, as long as the therapist knows what not to do.
It is recommended to get a massage once a week, to help relieve tensed muscles, and to take a moment for yourself. It is also great for the bond between you and your unborn baby.
The massage should be given in an enclosed and intimate space. The room should be quiet without disturbances from outside. It is nice to have calming music in the background too. The room should be not too hot and not too cold.
There should be a massage table with plenty of pillows, preferably special pregnancy body pillows. There could also be a birth ball.
For the massage itself it's best to use plain almond oil. It is not recommended to add aromatherapy oils such as lavender or tea tree, unless you've been using it since before you got pregnant. There are certain oils that cannot be used in pregnancy at all. For a complete list and more info, click here.
I give prenatal massages in my clinic in Jerusalem. Please contact me for an appointment.
The massage is suitable for women in the 2nd or 3rd trimester (13 weeks and up).
