If you or someone you know is pegnant there is a type of massage available called Prenatal Massage. It isn’t really that different from a regular massage; but there are different steps taken to accomodate the tummy. For example; I would have you lay on your side with a pillow between your legs so that I can work on you back, leg and arm on top and your neck.

Depending on how along you are in pregnancy I can work on massaging the baby as well but would mostly focus on you and your body’s sore spots/needs.

Please see this article written last year 4/2011 from the American Pregnancy Association that breaks down the main points of prenatal massage…it’s really great to know the pros and cons.

Massage therapy can also be used after someone has given birth to help the body with all the soreness associated with giving birth. Sometimes a massage therapist can give you a deal for purchasing 2 massages at once (one for before and after birth)…
