Basic assumptions. Pregnancy, as a_period of the great change in woman’s body, results in a_number of different ailments and because of that, can be determined as a_therapeutic problem. The most common symptoms are pain and tension from musculo-skeletal system. The relaxing massage treatment, performed regularly during pregnancy is able to prevent or alleviate already present symptoms. Unfortunately, it is performed very rarely, due to many apprehensions about the safety of that treatment and because of the fact that not every massage parlour or beauty salon is ready to provide help for pregnant women.

It is extremely important, for the massage specialist, to rule out any contraindications before the treatment, to respect the rules of performing it and care about the well-being of the pregnant.
