Pregnancy Therapeutic Massage

Pregnancy massage is a therapeutic bodywork that focuses on the special needs of the mother-to-be as her body goes through the dramatic changes of pregnancy. It enhances the function of muscles and joints, improves circulation and general body tone, and relieves mental and physical fatigue.

As your body adapts to the growing baby, you may experience back pain, leg cramps, swollen ankles, and disrupted sleep. Our specially trained registered massage therapists use positioning aids and gentle prenatal techniques to safely address these common discomforts while keeping both mother and baby comfortable throughout the session.

Prenatal massage has been shown to reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol and increase the feel-good hormones serotonin and dopamine, contributing to better mood and improved sleep. Many clients notice a meaningful reduction in sciatic nerve pain and lower back tension after just a few sessions.

We recommend waiting until after the first trimester before beginning massage therapy during pregnancy. Your therapist will review your health history at each visit to ensure the treatment continues to be safe and appropriate as your pregnancy progresses.
