Most pregnant woman experience some muscle tension that they aren’t used to dealing with and it could be very uncomfortable during your pregnancy. When it comes to the type of technique that is used during a pregnancy massage there are a number of different types. Some common massage techniques for pregnancy are Swedish massage, shiatsu, hot stone massage, or deep tissue massage. In addition, there are other techniques that can be used, including Thai massage, reflexology, deep tissue massage, aromatherapy, and acupressure, so it is important that you choose the right massage for you. Some therapists use firm strokes, fast movements, deep pressure points, circular movements, kneading, stretching or squeezing, depending on the massage therapy type they learned and use on you. I strongly believe the pregnancy massage you receive should be gentle and relaxing, so that you do not become stressed out, or even irritated. Studying the best pregnancy massage styles, I have learned with different practitioners and schools both here and overseas. As a result of my study and research I have developed a highly specialised technique I call ‘Radu Pregnancy Massage’. I developed this new technique because I believe each woman is entirely unique when it comes to her body's sensitivity in pregnancy. The best type of pregnancy massage therapy that you receive should depend on your individual situation. For example, most of my pregnant women clients prefer soft strokes and gentle pressure - over the harsher methods listed previously. My clients are definitely not interested to have their bodies kneaded, squeezed, poked, prodded, stretched or pushed hard when they are so highly sensitive to touch and feel because of their hormonal changes that come with pregnancy. When you come to my studio I make sure I am familiar with your particular needs so that you can receive the best pregnancy massage possible. If you have any questions or concerns about your pregnancy massage, do not hesitate to ask me and I will address any of your concerns.
