Get answers to common questions about Prenatal Massage - 60 mins.

Prenatal massage is generally safe after the first trimester when performed by a trained prenatal therapist. We require medical clearance for high-risk pregnancies. Therapists use modified positioning and gentler pressure to protect mother and baby while addressing discomfort.

We use side-lying positioning with supportive bolsters and pillows to avoid pressure on the abdomen. For later pregnancy, therapists avoid prone positions and may offer seated options. Comfort adjustments are made throughout the session.

Certain conditions like preeclampsia, placenta previa, active vaginal bleeding, recent miscarriage, blood clots, or uncontrolled hypertension require medical clearance and often prevent massage. Always disclose your medical history and current pregnancy complications before booking for safe care.

This 60-minute prenatal massage concentrates on lower back, hips, and legs to relieve common pregnancy discomfort. Therapists also address tension in shoulders and neck if requested, while maintaining pregnancy-safe techniques and positioning.

Wear comfortable clothing and arrive a few minutes early to complete intake forms. Share your due date, medical history, and any current discomforts. Avoid heavy meals beforehand and let your therapist know about any medication or doctor's recommendations.

Drink water to support circulation and help flush toxins, rest as needed, and apply gentle stretching for legs and lower back. Notify your therapist if any increased pain or unusual symptoms occur, and follow any personalized recommendations given.
