Indications from a 2010 study of massage during pregnancy and even labour; have shown strong and favourable outcomes in the health and well-being of women using this treatment. Women who regularly participate in this activity appear to suffer less depression during pregnancy and were prone to fewer prenatal complications. Back pain in most women in the three studies were reduced by the inclusion of massage in their lifestyle. These findings also suggest that women who use massage as a complimentary therapy during labour found their pain thresh-hold higher in the early stages of labour with up to 3 hour reduction in the total length of labour.*
