In the massage clinic, the therapist will most probably ask you to fill up a form where you can explain your health history in detail. Some clinics also ask you to provide clearance from your doctor.
Another crucial reminder is to trust only a qualified pregnancy massage therapist. Ask for their prenatal massage certification and check if their clinic is well-equipped and hygienic.
During the massage, it’s important to relax. You don’t have to be self-conscious because a great massage therapist only has your comfort in mind. If, at any point, you feel uncomfortable, don’t hesitate to tell the therapist right away.

You must check if the therapist who’s going to give you the massage is qualified.
