Pregnant Massage
With the baby growing and developing during pregnancy, the mother always tries to stand up for change. This is especially noticeable during the trimester transitions or periods when the baby gains weight very quickly. In this unique journey, both the mother's mood and body perception change.

The pressure used during the massage, the work on the muscles and joints should be evaluated specifically for the mother's complaint?
