Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it also brings significant physical and emotional changes. From back pain and swelling to hormonal shifts and fatigue, expecting mothers often experience a wide range of discomforts. Prenatal massage offers a safe and effective way to relieve these issues while promoting relaxation and overall well-being.
At AHC Wellness Clinic in Mississauga, our experienced Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) are trained in specialized prenatal techniques that support both mom and baby.
What Is Prenatal Massage?
Prenatal massage is a therapeutic bodywork designed specifically for pregnant women. Unlike regular massage, prenatal massage uses gentler pressure and focuses on the changing needs of the pregnant body. It’s performed in safe, supportive positions that ensure both comfort and safety for the mother and the baby.
Key Benefits of Prenatal Massage
- Relieves Lower Back, Neck & Hip Pain
As your body shifts to accommodate a growing baby, posture changes and added weight often lead to muscular tension. Massage helps ease these discomforts. - Reduces Swelling & Joint Pressure
Massage stimulates the soft tissues and helps reduce fluid buildup, easing pressure on joints and improving circulation. - Improves Sleep and Reduces Fatigue
Hormonal fluctuations and physical stress can interrupt sleep. Massage promotes better rest by calming the nervous system. - Lowers Anxiety & Enhances Mood
Through the release of endorphins and serotonin, massage can help balance emotions and reduce anxiety during pregnancy. - Prepares the Body for Labor
Regular prenatal massage may help improve flexibility and circulation, preparing the body for a smoother labor experience.
Is Prenatal Massage Safe?
Absolutely—when performed by a trained and licensed RMT, prenatal massage is completely safe for healthy pregnancies. At AHC Wellness Clinic, we use specially designed pillows and side-lying positions to ensure both mother and baby are well-supported.
We always recommend speaking to your healthcare provider before beginning massage therapy, especially if you have a high-risk pregnancy.
How Often Should You Get a Prenatal Massage?
The frequency depends on your personal comfort and stage of pregnancy. Many women benefit from monthly sessions in the first and second trimesters, increasing to biweekly or weekly in the third trimester to manage swelling, pain, and stress.
Prenatal Care with Compassion
Whether you’re in your first trimester or approaching your due date, AHC Wellness Clinic is here to support your body and mind through every phase of pregnancy. Our RMTs are experienced, compassionate, and trained to provide safe, effective relief so you can enjoy this transformative time with less pain and more peace.
