What Is Prenatal Massage?
Prenatal Massage is massage adapted for pregnancy. Positioning, pressure and treatment areas can be adjusted according to comfort, stage of pregnancy and relevant health considerations.
At Teshuva Wellness, every session is designed to provide nurturing, safe physical relaxation. We prioritize positioning that eliminates strain on your abdomen and lower back while gently easing accumulated tension.
How Is Prenatal Massage Different From a Standard Massage?
Prenatal massage is not simply a standard session with a different label — it is purposefully adapted around safety, comfort, and maternal physiology.
Prenatal Massage
Specifically tailored around the physical changes, sensitivity, and positioning requirements of pregnancy.
- •Pregnancy-adapted side-lying positioning
- •Additional supportive pillows and bolsters throughout
- •Pressure adjusted carefully around comfort and pregnancy stage
- •Treatment choices continually take maternal health into account
Standard Massage
Standard full-body massage routines that are not customized for pregnancy physiology.
- •Usual prone (face-down) or supine positioning may be used
- •Pressure and techniques selected without pregnancy-specific adaptation
- •May include techniques that are not appropriate or comfortable during pregnancy
- •Does not incorporate dedicated pregnancy intake screening
Comfortable Positioning Matters
As pregnancy progresses, lying comfortably for a massage may require changes in position and additional support. Side-lying positioning and cushions or bolsters may be used where appropriate to help maintain comfort.
Every body adapts to pregnancy differently. Your therapist works directly with you to arrange pillows under your head, between your knees, and supporting your abdomen so you can rest completely supported without any strain.
Areas You May Want the Massage to Focus On
Treatment is customized to where your body feels everyday tension, always respecting safe boundaries and individual comfort.
Upper Back
An area some pregnant clients may want more general tension work as postural balance shifts.
Shoulders
Pressure can be adjusted according to comfort and preference to ease daily upper-body strain.
Neck
Can be included as part of a broader relaxation-focused massage to relieve holding patterns.
Lower Back
May be discussed depending on comfort and relevant health considerations, using gentle touch.
Legs
Massage may be adapted depending on the individual's pregnancy and health history.
Feet
May be included where appropriate and comfortable for gentle soothing and relaxation.
Before Your Prenatal Massage
