If you’re looking to address pregnancy-related muscle tension, lower back and hip discomfort, swelling, stress, or overall physical and emotional support during pregnancy, Prenatal Massage may be the right choice for you.
Your appointment will begin with a comprehensive assessment. This includes a discussion of your current stage of pregnancy, chief concerns, relevant health history, and any contributing lifestyle factors. Your practitioner may then perform range of motion (ROM) and postural assessment if appropriate to better understand the source of your discomfort and areas of strain. Together, you’ll establish clear treatment goals to ensure the session is focused, safe, and aligned with your expectations.
Based on the assessment findings, your practitioner will utilize a combination of gentle massage techniques, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, relaxation-focused treatment, and prenatal positioning techniques designed for comfort and safety throughout all stages of pregnancy. Each treatment is fully customizable, and pressure or techniques will be adjusted at any time to ensure your comfort and optimal therapeutic benefit. Open communication is encouraged throughout the session so adjustments can be made in real time.
To support lasting results, you will receive personalized home care recommendations, such as gentle stretching, posture and positioning advice, breathing techniques, and self-care strategies to support comfort between treatments. Before leaving, be sure to speak with your practitioner about the ideal timing for your next visit. This collaborative approach empowers you to take an active role in your comfort, recovery, and overall well-being during pregnancy.

Prenatal Massage has roots in Ayurvedic Medicine – a medicine system that originated in India over 3000 years ago. These medicinal systems are based on the belief that optimal health comes from a proper balance between the mind, body, and spirit.
Evidence of Prenatal Massage has further been found in many ancient and historical texts worldwide. The idea is that it prepares the mother for childbirth by relieving any ailments or pain caused by pregnancy.

Prenatal massage is generally safe throughout all stages of pregnancy, but some women prefer to wait until after their first trimester to begin massage therapy. It’s important to communicate with your massage therapist about your pregnancy and any discomfort or concerns you may have.
During a prenatal massage, you can expect to lie on your side with pillows for support. The massage therapist will use gentle, but firm pressure to help release tension and promote relaxation. The massage may focus on specific areas of the body, such as the back, hips, and legs. The therapist may also use techniques such as Swedish massage or deep tissue massage, but will modify them to ensure the safety and comfort of the mother and baby.
