- In addition, massage is very useful in late pregnancy, when you feel fatigue in your legs, now and then pain in the lower back pain.
- A properly conducted massage session will help both improve mood and get rid of unpleasant symptoms, and keep the skin toned to prepare for the postpartum period.

- It is possible only manual massage, no massage chairs and technical innovations.
