Body Parts to Avoid When Massaging a Pregnant Woman

By Therapeutix Wellness Center, Your Ogden Massage professionals. 

Though massage is beneficial for a pregnant woman, some parts of the body should be avoided when carrying out the massage. Such body parts include:
  • Ankles: When you massage the ankles of an expectant woman, you will affect the pelvic muscles which will, in turn, lead to the contraction of the uterus. If this happens, the baby will be born prematurely and he may not survive if this happens too early.
  • Hand massage: Do not massage the fleshy area between the thumb and the forefinger as this could also lead to the contraction of the uterus.
The wrist should also not be massaged as this could also lead to the contraction of the uterus which could lead to the loss of the unborn child.
  • Lower trunk:  A massage therapist should avoid massaging the sacrum, lower back, and the lower abdomen. If this is done, the fetus could be hurt especially if the massage is too deep.
Pregnancy massage should only be carried out by a professional massage therapist as any wrong move could result in grave consequences. People who have no knowledge of what to avoid when massaging a pregnant woman should not be allowed to carry out a massage.
If you are expectant, you should make an effort to inform the massage therapist. You should also seek to know if the massage therapist is a qualified massage therapist and has an experience in massaging pregnant women. If he is not experienced, do not risk the life of your child simply because you wish to get the massage at a cheap spa.
A massage spa that is operated by experienced and qualified massage therapists is the best option to get a massage if you are carrying a child in your womb. You may have to pay more for the services but the outcome of the massage is worth every cent paid for the massage. Your baby is more expensive than the price you will be to have a professional massage.
