What Exactly Is a Pregnancy Massage?

Most pregnant woman experience some muscle tension that they
aren’t used to dealing with and it could be very uncomfortable
during your pregnancy.


When it comes to the type of technique that is used during a
pregnancy massage there are a number of different types. Some
common massage techniques for pregnancy are Swedish massage,
shiatsu, hot stone massage, or deep tissue massage.


In addition, there are other techniques that can be used,
including Thai massage, reflexology, deep tissue massage,
aromatherapy, and acupressure, so it is important that you choose
the right massage for you.


Some therapists use firm strokes, fast movements, deep pressure
points, circular movements, kneading, stretching or squeezing,
depending on the massage therapy type they learned and use on
you.


I strongly believe the pregnancy massage you receive should be
gentle and relaxing, so that you do not become stressed out, or
even irritated.


Studying the best pregnancy massage styles, I have learned with
different practitioners and schools both here and overseas.


As a result of my study and research I have developed a highly
specialised technique I call ‘Radu Pregnancy Massage’.


I developed this new technique because I believe each woman is
entirely unique when it comes to her body's sensitivity in
pregnancy.


The best type of pregnancy massage therapy that you receive
should depend on your individual situation. For example, most of
my pregnant women clients prefer soft strokes and gentle pressure
- over the harsher methods listed previously.


My clients are definitely not interested to have their bodies
kneaded, squeezed, poked, prodded, stretched or pushed hard when
they are so highly sensitive to touch and feel because of their
hormonal changes that come with pregnancy.


When you come to my studio I make sure I am familiar with your
particular needs so that you can receive the best pregnancy
massage possible. If you have any questions or concerns about
your pregnancy massage, do not hesitate to ask me and I will
address any of your concerns.
