Pregnancy is an amazing time in a woman's life. The body is undergoing rapid changes. Hormones and emotions are shifting.

​You may feel a bit unbalanced at times and you need safe, natural options for relief. Enter, prenatal massage!

Massage Therapy is a safe and helpful tool for a healthy, happy pregnancy.
​We offer prenatal massage that can help you feel your best physically, emotionally & mentally during this topsy-turvy time.

Massage therapy during pregnancy has many advantages. The American Pregnancy Association cites the following benefits of prenatal massage:
  • Hormone regulation - which can benefit mood challenges during and after pregnancy because stress hormones are reduced and feel-good brain chemicals are released
  • Reduction in swelling/edema
  • Better Sleep
  • Reduction in stress and anxiety
  • Ease sciatic nerve pain - a common occurrence, especially in the third trimester
  • Improvement for other joint and muscle pain such as carpal tunnel syndrome  -especially helpful when medications need to be reduced or avoided due to pregnancy
  • Improvement in headaches due to hormonal regulation and stress/tension reduction

FAQs about Prenatal Massage

Is it safe? When Can I get a prenatal massage?

Prenatal massage is very safe in all three trimesters of pregnancy, according to The American Pregnancy Association. However, if your pregnancy is considered high-risk, we do recommend you ask your doctor first about your specific case, just to ease your mind.

​Will I be comfortable during my massage?

At The Wellness Hub, we have special pillows and bolsters designed especially to make you comfortable and supported through all stages of pregnancy. You'll even be able to comfortably lie on your stomach during the massage because of our special bolster! The side-lying position is also popular for prenatal massage, and we have comfy, supportive pillows for that as well.

How often should I have a prenatal massage?

This all depends on what you're experiencing. Usually, the first and third trimesters can be the most uncomfortable, as many physical and hormonal shifts occur during this time. You may find you need to come once a week or every other week during these times, in order to stay balanced. During the second trimester or if the pregnancy - in general - is comfortable, once a month should be enough to help reduce stress and restore balance.

Can massage induce me to go into labor?

Some women seek out massage to help them go into labor. We do not offer induction massage at The Wellness Hub. However, we've found massage and acupressure in the weeks leading up to a woman's due date can gently and reliably ease things along, because massage naturally releases chemicals like dopamine and oxytocin. We've also found it can ease pain in the low back and sacrum area, which can help to release space for the baby to drop. So no, this isn't an "induction," but a way to naturally support your body as it goes through changes related to labor and delivery.
