Prenatal Massage Sherwood Park
Gentle Pain Relief and Relaxation During Pregnancy
Prenatal massage offers a safe, natural, and drug-free way to ease discomfort during pregnancy. It can help reduce pain, improve circulation, and promote relaxation—an important alternative since many medications are not recommended during pregnancy. At our Sherwood Park clinic near Millennium Place, our skilled therapists provide gentle, supportive care tailored to your needs throughout each stage of pregnancy.

What to Expect During Your Prenatal Massage Appointment
If you’re experiencing headaches, joint swelling, muscle stiffness, backaches, cramping, fatigue, or trouble sleeping during pregnancy, Prenatal Massage may be the right choice for you.
Your session will begin with a short assessment. Your therapist will review your health history, discuss any concerns, and identify areas you’d like to focus on. You’ll then undress to your comfort level and settle under the linens on the massage table.
During your treatment, your therapist’s top priority will be your safety and comfort, as well as that of your baby. We use bolsters and pillows to properly support your body, and Prenatal Massage is often performed while lying on your side. Techniques may include gentle to moderate pressure, orthopedic massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, soft tissue release, pelvic balancing, advanced neuromuscular methods, and hydrotherapy—always tailored to your needs.
If your goal is relaxation, your therapist will use flowing, steady techniques to ease tension throughout your body. You may also be encouraged to breathe deeply, which can enhance relaxation and the overall benefits of your session. In some cases, aromatherapy or additional relaxation methods may be included.
After your massage, you’ll likely feel relaxed and refreshed. It’s important to drink plenty of water to support your body’s recovery. Your therapist may also share aftercare suggestions, such as gentle stretches, self-massage techniques, or simple exercises to help you continue feeling your best. If needed, they may recommend follow-up sessions to keep you supported throughout your pregnancy journey.
Other Things to Know About Your Prenatal Massage Appointment
By booking your Prenatal Massage, you are providing consent for treatment during pregnancy. Your comfort is our top priority—if at any point you feel uneasy in a certain position, please let your therapist know so they can adjust bolsters, pillows, or your body alignment.
If you’re preparing for your session, here are a few helpful reminders:
Arrive a little early – Plan to come a few minutes before your appointment. This gives you time to complete any paperwork and settle in before your treatment begins.
Eat light before your massage – A heavy meal can make it harder to relax, while an empty stomach might leave you lightheaded. A light snack or meal an hour or two before works best.
Stay hydrated – Drink water before and after your massage. Staying hydrated helps your body recover and may ease any soreness.
Wear comfortable clothing – Loose or athletic wear is ideal. Depending on the treatment, you may need to undress to your comfort level. Your therapist will guide you on what’s needed for the best experience.
Keep communication open – Let your therapist know if you feel any discomfort or tension. Open dialogue allows them to adjust pressure and techniques for your safety and benefit.
Take it easy afterwards – Give your body time to rest and recover. Avoid strenuous activity immediately after your session and allow your body to relax.
Follow aftercare advice – Your therapist may suggest gentle stretches, self-care techniques, or follow-up appointments to support your well-being and recovery.
