Can I receive a bodywork if I'm pregnant?

Yes. Treatments can be received right up until delivery and provides many benefits and comforts during pregnancy. Hip opening and extension exercises, and foot/leg work are excellent. Many moves are adapted to ensure comfort for a pregnant woman, such as working on the side or in sitting postures. However, pain-tolerance is high due to high progesterone hormone levels - at this time, client feedback is very important and the therapist would go easy on stretching exercises to prevent dislocation.
