​Prenatal massage helps work out tension in the muscles and relieve body aches caused by the stress of pregnancy, helping you to relax both physically and mentally. Prenatal massage, unlike regular massage, takes extra precautions to make it safe for the baby and mom, such as performing the session in a side line position. (this is laying the mother on her side, with pillows under her head, in between her knees and under her feet) Or offering a pregnancy body cushion that safely allows the mother to lay face down without the baby having any negative effects and no discomfort. Also, making sure to not work on areas that are considered dangerous. Or if a mother is high risk, customizing the session to what she can have done safely. Most importantly, prenatal massage is done by a specialist that has extensive prenatal knowledge to ensure mom and babies safety during and post massage session.
