What is Prenatal Massage?

Prenatal massage is a specialized form of therapeutic bodywork designed specifically for pregnant individuals. It focuses on the unique needs and changes a woman’s body experiences during pregnancy. Using gentle, safe techniques and modified positioning (often side-lying or with special cushioning), prenatal massage helps ease the physical discomforts and emotional stress that often accompany pregnancy.
