Prenatal / Pregnancy Massage
Comfortable, supportive massage adapted to the changing needs of your body during pregnancy.
Overview
About Prenatal / Pregnancy Massage
Prenatal massage uses positioning adapted for pregnancy, often lying on your side with supportive pillows and bolsters, and pressure suited to your comfort.
Many people choose it for lower back and hip tension, neck and shoulder tightness, tired legs and postural discomfort, or simply to relax. We review your pregnancy and health history first and follow guidance from your healthcare provider.
Your health and safety
Please let us know about any pregnancy complications, and check with your physician or midwife if you are unsure whether massage is right for you. Contact your healthcare provider promptly about bleeding, severe headache, sudden swelling, reduced fetal movement or other concerns.
