While this sounds like a delicate question, it’s perfectly reasonable to ask the massage therapist what kind of special training they’ve done to educate themselves on pregnancy massage techniques.
Some massage therapists received nothing more than a 2-hour workshop during massage school on how to modify a regular massage for a pregnant woman, while others have taken week-long intensive certification courses on prenatal massage on top of their basic training for massage licensure.
Massage therapists are not technically required to receive additional prenatal training outside of massage school to give pregnancy massage. However, you can always search for a provider who has extra training in this area.
Before scheduling your session, make sure to ask how much prenatal massage training the massage therapist has, and whether that training was completed in person or online.
