Pregnancy Massage

The Don’ts during a Spa Pregnancy Massage Treatment
The following are spa massage treatments that a pregnant woman should not undergo due to the risks involved:

• Never cut short a massage session because you feel tired or you feel that you want to attend to other issues that are not an emergency; though a pregnant woman will get tired and get bored fast, it is important to come to the massage psychologically prepared. This will help you to endure through the entire session and at the end of it, you will enjoy the benefits.
• Avoid the use of chemical-based dyes when having a hair massage; the safety of such chemicals have not been established on pregnant women and you may end up harming the fetus.
• Never agree to have a massage when the therapist attending to you is not a professional pregnancy massage therapist; agreeing to this will be putting the life of the child at risk as she will not know what parts of the body and those that should not be touched.
• Avoid the use of harmful essential oils; a pregnancy massage therapist will know the best oils to use during the massage and those that should not be used.
• Never go for a massage therapy if your doctor has advised against it; he knows what the best is for you and the unborn child and the best option is to keep off until he assures you that the massage is safe.

To get the best treatment in a massage spa, you will have to speak up if you feel that something is not alright. If you feel discomfort or pain in the process of the massage, you should let the massage therapist know so that she will adjust.
Always remember that the main purpose of the massage is to make you feel better and get relief from body aches and stress. If the massage is giving you the opposite of this, it may be time to move to a more professional spa where the massage therapists are good at what they do.
