Conclusion: Prenatal massage is safe and beneficial from the second trimester onward when performed by a certified therapist. Dr.massage BGC offers prenatal-adapted shiatsu and Swedish massage for expecting mothers.

Overview

Prenatal massage addresses the specific physical changes and discomforts of pregnancy — back pain, hip tightness, swollen feet, sciatic nerve compression, and general fatigue. Available from the second trimester (13+ weeks), it requires therapist training in pregnancy positioning and contraindicated pressure points.
