What is a Prenatal Massage?
Prenatal Massage is a specialized form of massage therapy designed to support the body through the physical and emotional changes of pregnancy. As the body adapts, muscles, joints, and posture shift, often creating tension in areas such as the lower back, hips, legs, neck, and shoulders. Prenatal massage focuses on easing these discomforts while promoting relaxation and overall well-being.
Sessions are performed using pregnancy-safe techniques, gentle to moderate pressure, and supportive positioning—most commonly side-lying with bolsters and pillows—to ensure comfort and proper alignment. Therapists are trained to avoid contraindicated areas and techniques, allowing the work to be both soothing and effective.
