Some of these changes may produce discomforts and emotional problems. Massage can ease these discomforts and help provide a feeling of relaxation and wellbeing. It also can help an expectant mother prepare physically and emotionally for the changes that will occur during the time of pregnancy. Post partum massage can be beneficial in relieving the everyday aches and strains of managing your new baby and as a source of relaxation. How does it work? Pregnancy Massage differs from other massage therapies in that no abdominal, lower back or foot massage is applied during the first trimester. No essential oils are used in the 1st trimester. The level of clothing you wear during your massage is between you and your therapist. Some clients choose to remove all of their clothing (you will be  covered by towels) and some choose to remain in their underwear. Whatever you choose to wear or remove is completely up to you and your comfort level. There are some contraindicated conditions during pregnancy, so we suggest you obtain a referral or advice from your GP or midwife before your 1st appointment.          Pregnancy Massage can be used to treat the following conditions:       Anxiety Backaches Cramp Depression Digestive problems Insomnia Relaxation problems Physical discomfort Restlessness Stress on weight bearing joints Tension         Practitioners        Rieko Oshima-Barclay Dip.
