Prenatal Massage Therapist

If you are looking for a career in which you are able to help others, becoming a prenatal massage therapist might be for you.  Prenatal massage therapists help the well being of pregnant women.

Pregnancy is a very special time in a woman’s life.  When you become a prenatal massage therapist, you can share in the joy of this beautiful time with your clients.  Clients come to a prenatal massage therapist for a number of health reasons including reducing back pain, reducing joint pain, improving circulation, reducing muscle tension, reducing stress and anxiety, improving oxygenation of soft tissues and muscles and getting better sleep.  Although there are many benefits of a prenatal massage, prenatal massage therapist must take special precautions during this type of massage.  They must pay close attention to the position of the body during the massage and be aware of sensitive pressure points.  Prenatal massage therapist must also realize that not all pregnant women can receive a prenatal massage.  Women who have a high risk pregnancy, pregnancy induced hypertension, preeclampsia or previous pre-term labor should not receive a prenatal massage.
