In fact, massage done\nincorrectly while you are pregnant can cause your baby to be lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why this type of massage requires special training\nand certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are pregnant and seeking a massage, make sure the\nMassage Therapist you are considering has this special certification, so you\nare protected from unnecessary heartache.&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who already have a Massage Therapist that they\nlike and trust it is in your best interest to advise them of your pregnancy so\nthat they make the proper choice moving forward for both you and your child.&nbsp; It is not that difficult for them to get the\nadditional certification so that they can continue to work with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you can seek out a <a href=\"https:\/\/gracefultouch.org\/latest\/massage-therapist\/couples-massage\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">new Massage Therapist<\/a> that already has the certification.&nbsp; At the time of this writing, we at Graceful Touch are working on getting this certification so that we are able to add it to the list of services we provide our clients right here in Rapid City, SD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/gracefultouch.org\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Graceful-Touch-Rapid-City-SD-57701-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-128192\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gracefultouch.org\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Graceful-Touch-Rapid-City-SD-57701-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gracefultouch.org\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Graceful-Touch-Rapid-City-SD-57701-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gracefultouch.org\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Graceful-Touch-Rapid-City-SD-57701-1-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Graceful-Touch Rapid-City SD 57701<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">How Is Massage During\nPregnancy Different from Other Types of Massage?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the biggest difference in receiving a massage while\npregnant is the pregnancy itself.&nbsp; This\nwill continue to be a major difference well after your baby has been born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the pregnancy factor, you should be advised not to lay on your stomach (prone) as it can cause trouble for the birthing process.&nbsp; You may also find that laying on your back (supine) is not recommended.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, you will be instructed to recline in a variety of sideline positions  (primarily on your left side) intended to protect the safety of both you and your baby.&nbsp; Along with reclining on your side pillows will likely also be made available to assist in increased comfort during your pregnancy massage treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result of the pregnancy,  there are certain areas of your body that should not be massaged.&nbsp; Part of the reason for this additional certification is to ensure that your Massage Therapist understands the anatomy of a pregnant person and proceeds according to the safest techniques possible for both you and your baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Who Benefits from\nReceiving A Massage While Pregnant?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Who doesn\u2019t?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s focus on those immediately affected by the pregnancy\nand what their associated benefits would be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, the woman in labor herself.&nbsp; Pregnancy can cause a lot of undesired discomforts.&nbsp; Pregnancy massage can help reduce such issues.&nbsp; As the pain decreases the mood can be revitalized helping the one who is pregnant to have a more energetically positive outlook on life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, the baby inside the womb can reap great benefits from the positive energy being experienced by the recipient.&nbsp; This can assist with the increased health of the baby to be born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Third, the father to be also benefits.&nbsp; If both mother and baby are happy the result\nis a much less stressful environment for all parties.&nbsp; Decreased stress and increased comfort due to\npregnancy massage can lead to a more enriched home environment where everyone\nis more relaxed and happier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, there are others that benefit from the positive results of pregnancy massage.&nbsp; Some of those others can include other siblings, parents on both sides, friends, family, and others that find themselves interacting with those going through the pregnancy process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"755\" src=\"https:\/\/gracefultouch.org\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Graceful-Touch-Rapid-City-SD-57701-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-128193\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gracefultouch.org\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Graceful-Touch-Rapid-City-SD-57701-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gracefultouch.org\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Graceful-Touch-Rapid-City-SD-57701-2-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gracefultouch.org\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Graceful-Touch-Rapid-City-SD-57701-2-768x566.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Graceful-Touch Rapid-City SD 57701<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">5 Benefits of\nPregnancy Massage Revealed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Above, we have already covered many of the benefits of\npregnancy massage but here we get much more specific as to the details thereof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reduced lower back, neck, hips &amp;
