Pregnancy Massage Course

Even if you only work with an occasional pregnant client, it is vital you have reliable practice guidelines.  In this workshop, you will learn safe and comfortable prenatal positioning.  You will explore general massage modifications and selected essential techniques to safely address the pregnant pelvis.  This programme is designed for all massage and bodywork students and practitioners, seeking the theoretical understanding to safely adapt their own protocols and techniques to pregnancy's demands.

Class Objectives

1. Identify structural, functional, and physiological prenatal changes relevant to massage practices.
2. Identify modifications, precautions, and contraindicated practices to safely perform basic prenatal massage therapy during low-risk, uncomplicated pregnancies.
3. Position and drape pregnant clients for safe, effective massage therapy.
4. Modify basic massage routines for supine, sidelying and semi-reclining positions and to more effectively respond to the needs of pregnant women experiencing normal, low risk pregnancies.

For this course it is important to obtain a copy of Pre-and Perinatal Massage by Carol Osborne-Sheets.
