What is the difference between Prenatal Massage and a Regular Massage?

What sets Prenatal Massage apart from a Regular Massage is the specialized training of the therapist and the adjustments made to ensure your comfort and safety. Prenatal massages use special bolsters and pillows to accommodate your changing body, allowing you to lie comfortably on your stomach or side. These adjustments prevent pressure on your baby and belly, and if lying on your stomach causes discomfort, the therapist will position you on your side instead.
