Some Tips In Experiencing The Best Possible Prenatal Massage

By Betty Carter


Pregnancy is difficult for some women specially when their bodies are experiencing a lot of changes due to them carrying a child inside. This changes their center of gravity and stresses their shoulders, abdominal muscles, neck and back while it relaxes your ligaments making your pelvic joints less stable. Your posture is changed and might result into aching lower back.

They need ways for relieving their pains and discomforts felt during this period like leg cramps, swelling, stiff neck, backaches and headaches. You could visit the Long Island prenatal massage shops and get the relief and other benefits needed by you. Having them could lower risk of having preterm birth, reduce depression, improve your mood and lower stress level.

Speak to your doctor about this before getting a massage to know if having one is safe and if they say that it is safe then remember these tips in experiencing the best possible session with them. Make yourself comfortable through asking how many pillows they have for their clients there. The pillows help in making you comfortable when you lay down at their table.

Check their tables because some are using one with a hole at the middle for the belly of pregnant women to hang through that. Their safety when using them is not supported by any studies and clients would still decide what they prefer. If you are uncomfortable with it then request for normal ones but if your therapist does not have one then leave there.

Removing all your clothing is easier for your therapist to do their work and give you massage properly which includes your undergarments. But if doing this is uncomfortable for you then tell them and do not let them talk and convince you to remove them. You have the right to choose what you want and what makes you more comfortable.

Most women think letting the therapist know their physical condition will be unnecessary but that is not the truth. You could get yourself harmed, including your baby, by not sharing with them your medical issues being experienced. Sharing your medical issues is essential even if this visit is just one time for your safety to be insured.

Massage therapists use oils and lotions but their smells can irritate a pregnant woman whose olfactory sense is enhanced during this time. If your senses are sensitive then bringing your own body oil is fine to let them use this instead of their own oils. But lotions have special formulation which makes them glide.

Ask ahead your therapist regarding the training they had and where they got it hen search online the organization to know its reputation. Determine if the institution has received accredited from related associations but additional training is not required in most states though. This makes it important for you to research more on them.

Make sure getting off an on their table is safe and you would not slip or fall off. If you have a high risk pregnancy then avoid getting this prenatal massage. Your experience will be relaxing when these things are followed.
