Pregnancy Massage Tutorial: Back and Shoulders in Side Lying

In this video I demonstrate a short back and shoulder massage routine for a pregnant client, in a side lying position. These techniques are intended for professional licensed massage therapists.

Contraindications for Pregnancy Massage:
Women who have recently experienced bleeding, pre-term contractions, or have any of the following conditions should speak with a health care provider prior to receiving a pregnancy massage:
High-risk pregnancy
Pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH)
Preeclampsia
Previous pre-term labor
Are experiencing severe swelling, high blood pressure, or sudden, severe headaches

The benefits of massage can improve overall prenatal health for many pregnant women. With the guidance and advice of a prenatal care provider, massage therapy can be incorporated into routine prenatal care as an emotional and physical health supplement shown to improve pregnancy outcome and maternal health.
