There are always questions around First Trimester Massage
First Trimester Pregnancy Massage : As long as it is not a High Risk Pregnancy.
If you have experienced prior miscarriages we would hold off on pregnancy massage until you get all clear from your Pre natal care practitioner or your GP.
My Pregnancy Massage Certification was with the Lovely Catherine McInerney.
Who is Australia’s leading educator on Pregnancy Massage, Massage for Labour & Partner Support and Postnatal Massage.
We can use the Supine and Prone Position: Gentle Relaxation Massage will be beneficial to reduce Nausea and Fatigue. Firm Pressure and Mobilisation techniques are contraindicated due to increasing onset of nausea and changes in hormones.
- Supporting bolsters under shoulders to support changes in breasts
- Small pillow under pelvis / abdomen. ( Unless at the beginning of session we have mutually decided side lying would be more comfortable for you ) we would skip this process.
Catherine has advised that during the First Trimester the Recommended Massage Applications are :
All Relaxation Techniques are appropriate with emphasis on slower movements particularly if client is nauseous
Full Body Massage
- These Techniques, I am comfortable providing during First Trimester. I will not be performing any deep remedial techniques during this period of your pregnancy.
I do not use a pregnancy pillow from 13 Weeks we go Side Lying which my clients have found very comfortable. Pregnancy Massage is one of my Favourite treatments to give, Generally clients are wanting time to relax, feel good , release hip, lower back, upper back tension areas and feet! Reduce Oedema caused by poor blood flow obstructed by the pressure of the enlarged uterus. Increased interstitial fluid of 40% in legs.
I always provide full body treatments for the during of your pregnancy all the way up until delivery.
I look forward to treating you during this special time in your life.
If you have any questions please call and i will respond at my earliest.
Luisa.
