What to Ask Before Booking a Prenatal Spa Appointment
As prenatal pampering grows in popularity, many spas are now offering maternity services. However, there are great differences between many spas, and their experience level with pregnant women. To ensure that you are getting the most out of your spa visit, consider asking these important questions.
Does the massage therapist have a specialty certification in prenatal?
Massage therapists working with pregnant clients should have special training in the physiological adaptations of pregnancy and how this affects their treatment plan. Most therapists get some prenatal training during their initial training program but it’s important to receive additional training. There are many programs that offer specific certifications in prenatal, but we recommend at least a 3-day training in the last five years.
