Massage Therapy & Pregnancy – Important Information!

I feel it's important to share some essential insights about massage therapy during pregnancy.
So, please pay attention! The first trimester is the period of highest risk for miscarriage. At this early stage, the fetus is still not securely implanted and is in the very beginning of development. This phase also carries a higher risk of various types of complications and abnormalities.

‼️ Therefore, I strongly advise against any form of massage during the first three months of pregnancy — including even gentle SPA or relaxation techniques.
During the second and third trimesters, massage may be considered — but only after receiving explicit permission and recommendation from your supervising doctor. And even then, only specialised, gentle techniques are used. We avoid deep pressure, strong vibrations, or intense heating of tissues.
🚫 Chiropractic adjustments are strictly forbidden at any stage of pregnancy!
Even in the second and third trimesters, the risks remain high, and the benefits of massage are minimal and easily replaceable. That’s why it is absolutely vital to follow key rules and limitations:
✅ Doctor consultation is a must before starting any massage treatments – to rule out all possible contraindications.
🚫 Massage is strictly not allowed in the following conditions: Infectious diseases, Elevated body temperature, Threat of miscarriage, Severe sickness (toxicosis), High blood pressure, Cardiovascular conditions...
❌ Use of electric massage devices and mechanical massagers is prohibited during pregnancy.
🧴 All creams and lotions used must be hypoallergenic and pregnancy-safe.
