What Is Prenatal Massage?

Prenatal massage is a therapeutic bodywork technique designed specifically for the unique needs of expectant mothers. This gentle, nurturing massage helps relieve the physical and emotional discomforts that often accompany pregnancy, including back pain, swollen ankles, and stress.

During a prenatal massage, the therapist uses light to moderate pressure and specialized positioning techniques to ensure comfort and safety for both mother and baby. Pillows and bolsters are used to support the body, allowing for a relaxing and safe experience.

A prenatal massage session typically includes:

  • Side-Lying Positioning – Comfortable pillows and bolsters support the body to reduce pressure and ensure relaxation.
  • Gentle Strokes – Light to moderate pressure is applied to relieve tension without causing discomfort.
  • Targeted Relief – Focus on areas of common pregnancy discomfort, such as the lower back, hips, and shoulders.
  • Breath and Relaxation Techniques – Encourages deep relaxation and improved circulation.

Prenatal massage is especially beneficial for reducing stress, improving sleep, and relieving muscle tension associated with pregnancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is prenatal massage different from regular massage?

Prenatal massage is tailored to the needs of pregnant individuals, using gentle pressure and safe positioning to avoid discomfort and ensure the safety of both mother and baby.

How often should I get a prenatal massage?

Monthly sessions are recommended during the first and second trimesters. In the third trimester, bi-weekly or even weekly sessions can help relieve increased discomfort and prepare the body for labor.

Can prenatal massage help with swelling and circulation issues?

Yes. Prenatal massage improves lymphatic drainage and blood flow, which can help reduce swelling in the hands, feet, and legs.

What should I do after a prenatal massage?

Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins, and take time to rest if possible. Gentle stretching or a warm bath can also help maintain the relaxation benefits.

How can float therapy enhance my massage benefits?

Float Therapy – Allows the body to fully relax and decompress, reducing pressure on the joints and muscles while promoting a sense of weightlessness. Float therapies can be scheduled before your massage to help loosen the body or after to extend the relaxation benefits. Learn more about the benefits of our float therapy offering.

Is prenatal massage safe for all stages of pregnancy?

Prenatal massage is generally safe during the second and third trimesters. In the first trimester, massage should be avoided unless approved by your healthcare provider. Individuals with high-risk pregnancies or certain medical conditions should consult their doctor before booking a session.
