Массаж в акушерстве и перспективы применения авторского метода виброакустического массажа поющими чашами в пренатальный период (обзор)

During pregnancy, most women experience a number of health problems, e.g. back pain, anxiety, sleep disorders, headaches, etc. At the same time, it is recommended to treat these conditions with minimal medication. Therefore, non-drug methods, such as massage, and vibroacoustic massage with singing bowls in particular, become relevant. However, an opinion exists that during pregnancy massage should be used with caution, especially in the 1st and 3rd trimesters. The purpose of this article is to analyse the advantages of massage and the specifics of its use in pregnant women, as well as to determine the possibility of applying the author’s method of vibroacoustic massage with singing bowls (patent RU2687006C1) during the prenatal period. In this regard, we analysed the works on the benefits of massage and its use in pregnant women. The ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, eLIBRARY, and PubMed databases were used to search for the following keywords: massage therapy, pregnant women, classical massage, pregnancy, massage, physical therapy modalities, relaxation, pregnancy massage, antenatal massage. As a result, we came to a number of conclusions: 1) healthy women with uncomplicated pregnancy can have massage throughout the gestation period; 2) massage during pregnancy reduces the symptoms of depression and anxiety, improves sleep, relieves leg and back pain, and has a positive effect on the immune function; 3) during the massage, moderate pressure should be applied; 4) women with complicated pregnancy should get massage only after consulting an obstetrician; 5) vibroacoustic massage with singing bowls improves blood circulation, reduces anxiety, and improves emotional state and sleep quality, which makes it a promising massage method during pregnancy; however, further research is required to determine its effectiveness and safety as well as to adjust the procedure’s protocol in order to use it in pregnant women.

The Effectiveness of Massage in Managing Pregnant Women with Pelvic Girdle Pain: a Randomised Controlled Crossover Feasibility Study.

Applying Scientific Rationale to the Current Perceptions and Explanations of Massage and Miscarriage in the First Trimester.

Miscarriage is a relatively common occurrence, impacting 8-15% of clinically recognised pregnancies, and up to 30% of all conceptions. The public perception of the risk factors associated with miscarriage does not match the evidence. Evidence indicates that there are very few modifiable factors to prevent miscarriage, and the majority of the time little could have been done to prevent a spontaneous miscarriage. However, the public perception is that consuming drugs, lifting a heavy object, previous use of an intrauterine device, or massage can all contribute to miscarriage. While misinformation about the causes and risk factors of miscarriage continues to circulate, pregnant women will experience confusion about what activities they can (and cannot) do in early pregnancy, including receiving a massage. Pregnancy massage is an important component of massage therapy education. The resources that underpin pregnancy massage coursework consist of educational print content that includes direction and caution that massage in the first trimester, if done 'incorrectly' or in the 'wrong' location, can contribute to adverse outcomes such as miscarriage. The most common statements, perceptions and explanations for massage and miscarriage cover three broad areas: 1) maternal changes from massage affects the embryo/fetus; 2) massage leads to damage of the fetus/placenta; and 3) aspects of the massage treatment in the first trimester initiate contractions. The goal of this paper is to use scientific rationale to critically consider the validity of the current perceptions and explanations of massage therapy and miscarriage. Whilst direct evidence from clinical trials was lacking, considerations of physiological mechanisms regulating pregnancy and known risk factors associated with miscarriage provide no evidence that massage in pregnancy would increase a patient's risk of miscarriage. This scientific rationale should be addressed when teaching pregnancy massage courses.

The effects of pregnancy massage on mother and baby

Pregnancy massage has been used as a catch-all term for any hands-on massage in the prenatal or postnatal periods. There is reference to pregnancy massage in ancient ayurveda medicine texts where, without medical intervention and modern drugs, massage was used to tone and relax the mother's body during pregnancy, prepare the mother physically and psychologically for the birth, and aid healing postpartum. In the middle ages in England midwives used massage as an essential part of their work, leading them to be both admired and feared for their ‘magical’ healing skills. More recently, there has been research conducted on the effects of massage on both mother and baby.

Pregnancy-related Pelvic Girdle Pain and Pregnancy Massage: Findings from a Subgroup Analysis of an Observational Study

Pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain (PPGP) significantly impacts women's lives both physically and psychologically. Given the severity and impact of PPGP on pregnancy, the authors anticipated that pregnant women with PPGP might respond differently to massage than pregnant women without PPGP. The aim of the study was to further analyze a published 2017 study to assess the response of pregnancy massage in participants with and without PPGP. Two massage clinics, one in Sydney and one in Melbourne, recruited participants from December 2016 to December 2017. Nineteen women with PPGP and 78 without PPGP. PPGP and non-PPGP women receiving at least one massage, with outcome measures assessed immediately prior to and after massage, and again one week postmassage. Visual analog scales for pain, stress, range of movement, sleep, and self-reported side effects of massage. Both groups changed significantly and similarly over time for measures of pain, stress, range of motion, and sleep (all p < .05). Post hoc analysis found significant reduction in all outcome measures immediately following massage, but returned to baseline at one week postmassage for all measures except pain, which remained reduced for the PPGP group (49.79±25.68 to 34.75±34.75, p = .03, effect size 0.593), and stress remained reduced in the non-PPGP group (33.36±21.54 to 24.90±19.18, p = .002, effect size 0.373). The PPGP group entered the study with higher baseline levels of pain (p = .01) and a greater restriction in range of motion (p = .006) than the non-PPGP group. There was no difference in the number of side effects experienced between the two groups (p = .130). Although PPGP clients report greater pain and restriction in range of motion at baseline than non-PPGP clients, the response to pregnancy massage was similar. Results support a role of pregnancy massage in the management of PPGP. More research on massage for PPGP is needed to confirm a lasting effect of pain reduction from massage.

Safety and Pregnancy Massage: a qualitative thematic analysis

Traditionally, safety and improving safety in the treatment of pregnant women has involved identifying risks that lead to errors or adverse events, and implementing strategies to mitigate potential harm. There is research that suggests that other factors such as a lack of service, lack of care or a lack of quality also contribute to participants feeling unsafe. Currently there is no evidence-based research on the psychological aspects of the safety of massage during pregnancy. The present study aim was to investigate women's perceptions and experiences of the safety of massage during pregnancy. This included exploring what attributes of the clinician or practice and events that occur during the massage helped pregnant women feel safe. Phone interview with participants from Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. 20 women who received massage whilst pregnant. Qualitative design using thematic analysis. There were five main themes related to safety and massage: 1) Autonomy- able to voice my needs and be heard; 2) Pregnancy massage is more than just a massage; 3) When my therapist is experienced and qualified, I feel safer; 4) The continuity of the massage industry's message about the safety of massage; and 5) Decision-making around massage safety. Safety is made up of not only the treatment that massage therapists provide, but also the environment they provide it in and how they administer both the treatment and the consultation. The lack of cohesion in messaging about the safety of massage during pregnancy makes women doubt the safety of massage.
