Description
Prenatal Massage: Safe, Supportive Care During Pregnancy Prenatal massage is a gentle, therapeutic treatment designed specifically for the unique needs of pregnant individuals. Performed by a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) with training in prenatal care, this type of massage focuses on providing comfort, relieving pregnancy-related discomforts, and supporting overall wellness throughout all stages of pregnancy. Benefits of Prenatal Massage Reduces Muscle Tension & Joint Pain Helps relieve common discomforts like lower back pain, hip tension, and leg cramps caused by postural changes and increased weight bearing. Decreases Stress & Anxiety Promotes relaxation and lowers stress hormones, which benefits both the parent and baby. Improves Sleep Quality Relaxation and reduced physical discomfort can help expectant mothers sleep more deeply and consistently. Supports Circulation & Reduces Swelling Gentle techniques help improve blood and lymph flow, reducing swelling in the legs, ankles, and feet. Eases Headaches & Sinus Pressure Tension in the neck, shoulders, and jaw can contribute to headaches or sinus congestion—massage helps release these areas safely. Encourages Mind-Body Connection Taking time for self-care helps foster a deeper connection with your body and growing baby, enhancing emotional well-being. Safety First: Prenatal massage is always tailored to your stage of pregnancy and comfort. Proper positioning (such as side-lying with support pillows) ensures safety and relaxation. Always consult your healthcare provider before beginning any new treatment during pregnancy. Prenatal massage provided by an RMT is covered under most extended health plans and can be claimed through your insurance or Health Spending Account (HSA).
