Pregnancy massage — also known as prenatal massage — is a specialized form of therapeutic bodywork adapted for the unique physiological changes that occur throughout each trimester. Unlike a standard massage, it uses modified positioning (typically side-lying with supportive pillows), adjusted pressure, and targeted techniques that keep both mother and baby safe.
As your body shifts its center of gravity, your joints, muscles, and ligaments work harder than ever. The sciatic nerve can become compressed, your lower back bears increasing load, and hormonal changes cause ligament laxity. A trained prenatal therapist understands these changes and works with them — not against them — to deliver real, lasting relief.
