How is prenatal or postnatal massage different from other types of massage?
Because of the physical changes that take place during pregnancy, prenatal massage involves different positioning on the massage table. During sessions, specific precautions must be taken to keep the mother and baby safe, and specific techniques can be used to address the common discomforts that arise during pregnancy and after giving birth. With this in mind, most massage modalities (deep tissue, myo-fascial, Swedish, etc.) can be modified and applied to prenatal massage.
