We use side-lying positioning with abundant pillows for support, plus bolsters and modified table setups. Prone positioning is avoided. Therapists apply gentle Swedish techniques and targeted stretches to relieve tension while ensuring comfort and safety throughout the session.

Certain conditions may require postponing or modifying treatment, including preeclampsia, uncontrolled hypertension, blood clotting disorders, or significant bleeding. Inform us and your healthcare provider about complications. We will coordinate care and may request medical clearance before proceeding.

Yes—prenatal massage can reduce pregnancy-related back pain and sciatica by relaxing muscles, improving circulation, and reducing nerve irritation. Therapists focus on lumbar, hips, and gluteal areas and provide home stretch recommendations. Continue medical follow-up for severe symptoms.

Frequency depends on individual needs and trimester. Many clients schedule sessions every two to four weeks, while those with greater discomfort may come weekly. We’ll design a plan based on symptoms, comfort, and your healthcare provider’s guidance to ensure safe, effective care.
