All high risk pregnancies must have a doctor's permission prior to appointment!! No exceptions. A woman's soft tissue stays in postpartum for about 2 years per pregnancy!! Food for thought. Contraindicated for pregnancy, folks with heat sensitivities, severe heart and blood pressure issues, MS and fibromyalgia flare-ups, and diabetics with severe circulation problems. Stones are not used on any area of the body that has numbness or partial feeling due to disease or nerve damage.
Swedish/Relaxation Massage
This type of massage is most popular and familiar to folks. It can be light, moderate or deep in pressure and always includes long, slow strokes and flowing movement. Often, Swedish is incorporated into more detailed massage such as injury/neuromuscular work. Massage in general helps to increase circulation, increase range of motion of joints, decrease pain caused from trigger points and tight muscles. Swedish is very relaxing for the nervous system and is beneficial for those clients under stress.
Prenatal Massage
This type of massage is for all trimesters, including high-risk and bed rest patients, as long as they have a doctor's consent. A woman can receive massage as soon as she finds out she is pregnant and continue until her due date. At about 20 weeks, massage is performed in side lying and semi-reclined position only. Often the session is performed this way before 20 weeks. (Massage tables with cut out holes are not recommended, as they put too much pressure on uterine ligaments and can also hurt the client's low back.) Prenatal massage helps with circulation, range of motion issues, edema (swelling) due to pregnancy, leg cramps, and sore muscles. Massage also helps the new mother-to-be relax and connect with her changing body and growing baby.
Postpartum Massage
This type of massage is safe the day a woman gives birth, unless otherwise advised by her doctor. Pressure varies from client to client and depends greatly on how long she has been in postpartum. This type of massage incorporates Swedish and neuromuscular massage. The massage is performed in regular position, but sometimes in sidelying if a woman has had a c-section recently.
Hot Stone
Hot Stone Massage is a form of Swedish Massage with the incorporation of hot basalt stones. The stones are 130-140 degrees and help greatly in assisting in soft tissue relaxation. Due to the deep moist heat, only moderate pressure is required. It is highly relaxing and enjoyed by many massage lovers.
