Prenatal Massage

One of the many modalities our students learn in our 650-hour massage program is prenatal massage. Students are introduced to different setups, client considerations, and safety protocols for working with pregnant clients.

As a massage therapist, there are several ways you can work with pregnant clients:

• Prenatal table Thai massage
• Prenatal floor Thai massage
• Integrative Prenatal massage (table)
• Swedish prenatal massage (table) 

Prenatal massage involves specific modifications to support the pregnant client. You’ll learn about contraindications, precautions, communication with the client, and you’ll have hands-on practice in prenatal massage modality.
