Is massage contraindicated for high risk pregnancies?

No!  Massage is especially beneficial for both physical and emotional health.  Massage can relieve muscle spasms, increase circulation, reduce blood pressure, encourage deeper breathing.  It is nurturing and comforting, and helpful for relieving anxiety.   "In a 1999 study published in the Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics and Gynecology, prenatal massage decreased anxiety and stress hormones, resulting in fewer obstetric and postnatal complications, including lower pre-maturity rates." http://www.integrative-healthcare.org/mt/archives/2010/05/high-risk_pregn.html?eml=mpu77  Follow this link to read more!
