During pregnancy, a woman's body undergoes tremendous changes for the body to adjust in a relatively brief period of time. Pregnancy massage aims to lessen any musculoskeletal pain that the mother is experiencing, as well as promote a healthy pregnancy by inducing relaxation. The massage can focus on any area that is in discomfort, such as lower back pain or sciatica (leg and hip pain). The goals of the massage can be to decrease muscle tension, spasm, or swelling or simply to promote relaxation. At home pregnancy-specific stretches and hydrotherapy suggestions are given to the mother to prolong the beneficial results of the massage.
