most pre natal trained therapists will only take massage from 16 weeks onwards unless you already have a regular therapist who does prenatal as well. i have been doing deep tissue with my therapist and she is prenatal trained so she is comfortable in massaging me even though im in first trimester.

My gynae said it’s ok as long as no pain and avoid tummy area. He even said the same goes for chiro.

You should get massage closer to second trimester onwards.
