During this hands-on class we will explore the anatomy and physiology of pregnancy along with learning how pregnancy impacts the body. We will review safe draping protocols, proper positioning, while keeping optimal body mechanics for massage therapists in side-lying, semi reclined, and in supine. Today’s modern pregnancy requires the importance of using and understanding the current guidelines in massage for all trimesters of pregnancy. We will explore how to treat common issues that occur during pregnancy including perinatal mood disorders and how massage can have an impact on the clients struggling with these issues. We will look at research and benefits of pregnancy massage. We will explore the ethical concepts of informed consent, power differential, and inclusive language in prenatal massage.
