Understanding & Delivering Pregnancy Massage – Level 1

Pregnancy presents unique needs and challenges for the massage therapist, and these challenges often change rapidly throughout the pregnancy. Upon completing massage therapy schooling, many therapists do not feel adequately equipped to safely and effectively treat a pregnant person.

Dexterity PD has collaborated with Trimesters: Massage Therapy Education, a pre-eminent pregnancy massage educator, to address this need. Together, we have created an online program to help qualified massage therapists confidently treat pregnant clients.

This course series builds logically from one course to the next, creating a solid foundation of knowledge for the therapist. Discover the basic anatomy, physiology, and symptoms often experienced by pregnant clients. This understanding will enable the massage therapist to anticipate and expect important treatment considerations and modifications.

Therapists will learn what additional equipment they need for treating a pregnant client. They will also discover how to conduct a thorough assessment, position a pregnant client safely for treatment, and modify treatment techniques for various conditions and areas of the body.

Created in Collaboration with Trimesters: Massage Therapy Education, this Certificate Program will enable the learner to develop a comprehensive understanding of the unique needs of the pregnant client and how to provide safe and effective treatment. This Certificate Program, in conjunction with Understanding & Delivering Pregnancy Massage - Level 2, is comparable in content to the in-class Trimesters Certificate Program now offered in a convenient online format.
