Pregnancy massage may help relieve some of the aches and pains of pregnancy

Pregnancy massage is designed to be used during pregnancy where you will be restricted to lying on your side rather than on your stomach or back. This is especially important during the latter months of the pregnancy as lying on your back is not recommended past the first trimester.

One of the most popular forms of pregnancy massage uses the principles based on Swedish massage techniques. This is because of its particular benefits in reducing muscle tension and improving blood flow and lymphatic drainage.
