Contraindications: Pregnancy

 

 

Massage over the abdomen is contraindicated in pregnancy.  Always obtain approval from the client’s obstetrician before massage.  If the client is trying to become pregnant, it should always be assumed that she is in fact, pregnant.  The most dangerous time to massage over the abdomen in pregnancy is during the first month when the connection between the uterus and the embryo is most tenuous.  Specific training in pregnancy massage is recommended.
