Pregnancy Massage Diploma

This course is aimed at qualified therapists who hold a Swedish Body Massage and a Diploma in Anatomy & Physiology, who want to extend their career in Massage and add this treatment to their list of holistic therapies.

A woman’s body undergoes dramatic changes during the 40 weeks of pregnancy.  As many expectant mothers soon realise, carrying a baby shifts a woman’s centre of gravity and places stress on the back, neck and shoulders.  Pregnancy also relaxes ligaments and causes the pelvic joints to become less stable, thereby changing posture and pulling the pelvis forward.

Pregnancy, therefore, brings with it a variety of side effects, some less pleasant than others.  Most mothers can expect to experience some muscular tension and stiffness during their pregnancy as their uterus expands to accommodate their growing baby.

Fortunately, massage therapy during pregnancy can often relieve many of the common side effects of backaches, headaches, oedema and other pregnancy related problems.  Pregnancy massage is increasingly gaining popularity as women recognise the benefits massage has to offer both physically and psychologically.

On this course you will learn how to perform a side-lying treatment on the beauty bed.
