Passive stretching is a stretch that requires no movement on your part to elongate the area stretched.
 

Active stretching is a stretch that involves you engaging the targeted muscle for that area stretched. It is more intense than the passive stretching, and results are quickly noticed in most cases.

Prenatal: This category is rooted in relaxing tense muscles just as any other massage modality. Your first trimester will be like any other massage where you can lay face up (supine) and, face down (prone). Starting in 12 weeks you will be in side lying position.

Postnatal: After labor and delivery you could possibly be in side lying position. This is based on your comfort. While pregnant your body releases the hormone Relaxin...it loosen your ligaments for flexibility in your bones, and aids in creating space for your baby to grow. In short, it causes pain. Your massage will fall into one of various categories above.
