Why do people have to be nude during a massage?
Not all types of massage require the recipient to remove their clothing. For those types of massage which do require the removal of clothing, it is expected that client's arrive to their massage CLEAN and LEAVE ON A PAIR OF UNDERPANTS so that professional draping with a sheet can be performed during the massage. For the type of massage most people are familiar with, Swedish massage, removal of the clothing allows the therapist to more easily feel tense muscles, see the skin and body for signs of distress, and most clients enjoy the sensation of oil or lotion being applied. Without clothing, the therapist can use long sweeping strokes with more pressure, work more easily on areas like beneath the shoulder blades, and have an easier time manipulating tissues.
What are contraindications to prenatal massage?
Some contraindications to prenatal massage include avoiding pressure points on areas of the body that affect the ovaries and uterus, avoiding massage if you are experience cramping and bleeding and ensuring that only gentle pressure is applied during a massage in order to avoid dislodging a blood clot.
Do you have to be undressed during a massage?
No. It depends on the style, or modality, that is being applied. If it is one that requires oil as a medium, then the more disrobed you are, the more areas of your body will be available to be massaged. If you are getting an energy oriented massage that does not use oil , then you can keep all your cloths on and the therapist will massage you through your cloths.

What can the massage therapist learn about his patient by applying appropriate pressure during therapy?
Touch used with sensitivity also allows the massage therapist to receive useful information via his or her hands about the client's body, such as locating areas of muscle tension and other soft tissue problems.
Why is your skin dry during pregnancy?
Your whole body is giving the baby everything it needs including your Hydration. If this dry skin is particular to the areas that are 'growing' (breasts, belly, rear end, feet) it is also due to the stretching. Drink more water and have your partner give you a massage with some Vitamin E lotion when ever possible. ;)
Can you do massage if you have no qualifications?
