Prenatal Massage is a type of bodywork that focuses on the special needs of the mother-to-be as her body goes through the changes of pregnancy. Prenatal massages help enhance the function of muscles and joints, improve circulation and general body tone, and relieve mental and physical fatigue. Prenatal Massage can help reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and encourage overall well-being for the mother and baby.
**Contraindications for Prenatal Massage include:

• High risk pregnancy

• Preeclampsia

• Severe swelling, high blood pressure, or severe headaches (which can be signs of preeclampsia) 

• Blood clots, thrombosis, phlebitis

• Placenta problems
