Is it safe to get a massage during pregnancy?

Yes, prenatal massage is safe for most pregnancies when performed by a trained therapist who understands how to support the body through each trimester. Techniques and positioning are adjusted to avoid pressure points that could trigger contractions and to ensure both comfort and safety. As with any treatment during pregnancy, it's always best to check with your healthcare provider first.

What to Expect During Your Prenatal Massage

  1. Check-In & Communication
    Your therapist will review your intake form, ask about your pregnancy stage and symptoms, and answer any questions to ensure a safe, supportive session.

  2. Comfort-First Positioning
    You’ll be comfortably positioned with bolsters or pillows—usually side-lying—to take pressure off your belly and lower back while keeping you fully supported.

  3. Gentle, Targeted Techniques
    Your therapist will use soothing, adapted techniques to ease common pregnancy discomforts like low back pain, swollen limbs, and hip tension—always avoiding pressure points that could trigger contractions.

  4. Ongoing Collaboration
    You’ll be encouraged to share how you’re feeling throughout the session so the therapist can adjust pressure and pacing to keep you relaxed and safe.

  5. No Pain, Just Support
    Prenatal massage focuses on gentle, effective relief—not intensity. The goal is to help your body release tension without strain, so you leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more at ease.

After Your Massage
Take your time getting up and allow your body to adjust. Drink plenty of water, rest if you can, and notice how your body feels over the next day—some soreness is normal, but you should feel more balanced and at ease. Let your therapist know how you felt so your next session can be even more supportive. If you’re ever unsure, reach out—we’re here for you. (321) 987-0041
