Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Prenatal Massage - 75 min.

Prenatal Massage - 75 min is generally safe when provided by a licensed therapist trained in prenatal care. We require a brief health screen and provider clearance for high-risk pregnancies, blood clots, or uncontrolled conditions before booking to ensure safety.

Your 75-minute session begins with a health check and positioning for comfort. We use side-lying bolsters and gentle techniques focusing on hips, back, legs, and circulation. Expect slow, soothing strokes, periodic adjustments, and time to rest and hydrate afterward.

Arrive hydrated and well-rested, wearing comfortable clothing. Bring prenatal medical details and any provider restrictions. Avoid heavy meals right before the appointment. We recommend arriving 10 minutes early for intake forms and to discuss positioning preferences and specific areas of concern.

Yes. The extended 75-minute prenatal session uses gentle lymphatic and circulatory techniques plus focused muscle work to ease swelling and lumbar discomfort. Many clients report measurable relief, especially with regular sessions combined with elevation and hydration at home.

Those with preeclampsia, uncontrolled high blood pressure, active vaginal bleeding, recent miscarriage risk, or diagnosed blood clots should avoid prenatal massage without medical clearance. Always consult your OB/GYN or midwife before booking if you have pregnancy complications or high-risk status.

No — safety and comfort are prioritized. We primarily use side-lying positioning with bolsters and pillows to support the belly and spine. Supine (on the back) is avoided in later trimesters; any brief supine position is done with special support and therapist caution.
