Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Pregnancy Massage - 60 Minutes.

Yes—when performed by a licensed therapist trained in prenatal techniques, this 60-minute massage is safe for most pregnancies. We use appropriate positioning and gentle pressure and ask about medical history to tailor each session safely.

We typically use side-lying positioning with supportive bolsters or a pregnancy table to keep you comfortable and protect the abdomen. Therapists avoid prone positioning and continually check pressure and alignment during the full session.

Expect gentle, supportive strokes focused on lower back, hips, legs, and shoulders. The session emphasizes relaxation, improved circulation, and symptom relief. Communication about preferred pressure and any sensitivity is encouraged throughout the treatment.

Certain conditions like preeclampsia, uncontrolled hypertension, deep vein thrombosis, or other pregnancy complications may require medical clearance. Always inform your provider and your therapist of any concerns before booking.

Many clients schedule prenatal massage every one to four weeks depending on symptom severity and comfort needs. Your therapist will recommend an individualized frequency to support mobility, reduce discomfort, and promote relaxation.

Inform both your doctor and therapist before booking. With medical clearance, therapists adjust techniques and monitor you closely. Uncontrolled or severe hypertension may require postponement until your healthcare provider stabilizes it.
