Prenatal Massage Restrictions
Women with certain conditions should not use massage for any
reason during their pregnancy. These reasons include: a high-risk pregnancy
or pregnancy with multiples, hypertension, preeclampsia, or a history of
pre-term labor. Because there are additional risks associated with
pregnancy, we prefer written consent from a woman's doctor before they start any
massage regimen.
Although prenatal massage is typically considered safe at any point during a
pregnancy, we will not offer their services during the first trimester. Most of
this precaution comes from the higher risk of miscarriage during the first three
months of pregnancy; in order to avoid a potential lawsuit in the event of a
miscarriage, we find it safer to simply refuse their services for women in this
state.
