How can prenatal massage therapists help me?

May help one relax: If a woman had no problems with massage therapy before pregnancy, and felt more relaxed after a massage, then similar massage therapy during pregnancy should help her relax her muscles or help her sleep better.

Massage Therapy: I agree with Dr. Kwok. “Massage therapy performed during pregnancy can reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and improve labor outcomes and newborn health.” REF: http://americanpregnancy.org/pregnancy-health/prenatal-massage/
