Prenatal massage is a modified version of Swedish massage. Therapists make sure that the baby is safe and that the mother is comfortable during the treatment. The treatment is modified as deep tissue work should not be attempted on pregnant women. Post-natal massage focuses on working with the muscles as they readjust to pre-pregnancy positions.
