This one day course offers in-depth insight into how to support women through pregnancy and beyond. We will review in great detail specific conditions, including high-risk pregnancies, and the implication of massage.

 

Pregnancy is a very special time in a woman’s life that creates significant physiological, structural, and psychological changes. Understanding these changes will help you, the massage therapist, to determine the outcome of your treatment. It will give you the confidence and guidance to apply appropriate therapeutic massage to your pregnant client.

 

During the course you will study the application of massage for pregnant women, the appropriate techniques and style of application suitable for each trimester and you will gain a greater insight into the complex body and system changes happening through pregnancy, labour and postnatal. You will learn the physiology of pregnancy, labor, and postpartum recovery as well as the skills and appropriate bodywork techniques necessary to massage your clients competently from their first trimester through labor. You will learn how to adapt your treatment plans to suit the individual needs of your clients, through massage, gentle breathe as well as passive and assisted Thai Massage stretching, carefully selected to assist during pregnancy. 

 

Hands-on work includes full body prenatal massage in 4 different ways: side-lying without turning the client; side-lying turning the client to her opposite side; side-lying turning client supine; in a seated position.
