Thai Massage was first administered to the Buddha over 2,000 years ago and has roots in Ayurvedic medicine. The work focuses pressure on energy (sen) lines and points as well as a large variety of slow stretching movements. The stretching movements affect the entire body by increasing flexibility, releasing both deep and superficial tension and helping the body's natural energy to flow more freely. The slow stretching movements are similar to Yoga and are known in the west as "passive yoga".
Thai "Yoga" massage is wonderful for yoginis, runners, and helps alleviate a sedentary lifestyle so common in our society. Treatments vary in length from 90-120 minutes and are fully clothed, non-oil massages. Also, as in yoga it is best experienced on an empty stomach.

I am not sure if you still need some advice, but there are some very specific areas that are contraindicated for pregnancy massage...avoid the ankles, web of the hands between the thumb and index finger. Avoid excessive pressure on the lower back and any long term deep tissue. If you are doing any side lying, make sure that she is only on each side for less than 20 mins. Otherwise, work to her comfort level. If you have any other questions, please let me know!

Be very careful here is very god videos but also very much crap. Pregnant girlfriend??? Avoid to massage under her legs and back bow!! If you don't know what you doing..?? Just caress her with warm oil. Boil 1l.water and put it in the refrigerator and let her drink only water for a day.Remember don't push!! And god luck with the birth of your child;-)
