Massage and Pregnancy
It is possible to have a Raynor Massage while pregnant and there are many benefits to massage at this time, it can help relax the muscles in the back and legs which are being used in new and extra ways, it can calm the mother-to-be and can flush out of the system the natural toxins that build in the body. You will be massaged lying on your back or side and there will be no massage on or near the belly area.
The only essential oil that will be used in the aromatherapy treatment will be dilute chamomile oil as this is safe in pregnancy and for use on newborn babies.
While there is great concentration on hands and feet in a Raynor Massage, the area around the heel will be avoided as this is a pro-abortive point in Chinese medicine.
If you have any concerns or questions about this, please discuss it with the therapist.
