Supportive Care for Pregnancy-Related Discomfort
Prenatal Massage is a gentle, therapeutic treatment designed to support the body through the physical and postural changes of pregnancy. At our clinic, Prenatal Massage is provided with a strong focus on safety, comfort, and evidence-informed care.
This treatment is suitable for most stages of pregnancy and is adapted to your individual needs, symptoms, and trimester.
How Prenatal Massage Can Help
Pregnancy places increased demand on the musculoskeletal and circulatory systems. Prenatal massage may help to:
- Reduce lower back, pelvic, hip, and neck pain
- Ease muscle tension and joint strain
- Improve circulation and lymphatic flow
- Decrease swelling in the legs, ankles, and feet
- Support relaxation and improve sleep quality
- Reduce stress and physical fatigue
Massage can be particularly beneficial when combined with osteopathic care to support posture, mobility, and overall comfort throughout pregnancy.
A Safe, Clinical Approach
All prenatal massage treatments are performed by trained practitioners using pregnancy-appropriate techniques. Positioning is carefully adjusted using supportive bolsters to ensure comfort and avoid unnecessary pressure on the abdomen.
Treatments are modified according to your stage of pregnancy, medical history, and any symptoms you may be experiencing. We work within professional guidelines and can collaborate with your healthcare provider if required.
What to Expect
Your session begins with a brief consultation to discuss your pregnancy, current concerns, and treatment goals. Massage techniques are applied gently and thoughtfully, focusing on areas commonly affected during pregnancy such as the lower back, hips, shoulders, and legs. Pressure and positioning are always adjusted to your comfort level.
Is Prenatal Massage Right for You?
Prenatal Massage is generally recommended after the first trimester. If you have a high-risk pregnancy or specific medical concerns, we advise consulting your obstetrician, midwife, or primary healthcare provider prior to treatment. If you are unsure whether prenatal massage is appropriate for you, our team is happy to discuss your individual situation.
