Pregnancy Prenatal Massage

  • When should you start getting prenatal massage?

    It is best to wait for your 13 week of pregnancy to start receiving pregnancy massage. Although it is considered safe to start earlier, we like to keep mindful of how delicate the first trimester can be.

    After 13 weeks pregnant you may start receiving regular massage treatments.

  • Benefits of prenatal massage

    Prenatal massage helps reduce inflammation and muscle tension.
    During pregnancy the body goes through many fast changes. It is often common for those who are pregnant to feel more aches and pains due to these changes.
    Especially in the lower back and hip region.

    Having a regular prenatal massage routine can support the body as it goes through these changes. As well as help prepare the body for birthing.
    Other benefits include improved sleep, improving blood flow, reduced joint pain, relaxes the mind, and relieve overall tension.

  • Postpartum care

    Pregnancy and birthing can be very taxing to the body. It is important to nurture and care for your body as you begin this journey of parenthood. Post natal massage can promote circulation, reduce swelling, and reduce stress hormones.
    Post natal massage can help correct posture and loosen knots that may have developed.

    You can start you post natal care as soon as feel comfortable.
    It is recommended to wait at least 1-2 weeks before receiving a massage with vaginal births and 4-6 weeks for those with Cecarean births.

lower back and hip tighness

The primary cause of hip pain during pregnancy often stems from prolonged pressure on the hip area, typically experienced when lying on one's side. Additionally, hormonal shifts and the loosening of ligaments in preparation for childbirth can lead to hip and pelvis instability, further contributing to discomfort.
