Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs

Is it safe to get a massage while pregnant? Yes, pregnancy massage is generally safe for most expectant mothers when performed by a trained and certified prenatal massage therapist. At our clinic, our therapist is highly skilled in providing safe and effective treatments tailored to the unique needs of pregnant clients.

What areas should not be massaged during pregnancy? During pregnancy, certain areas should be avoided or treated with caution to ensure safety. These include deep pressure on the abdomen, specific pressure points on the wrists, ankles, and lower back that may stimulate contractions, and any areas with swelling or varicose veins. Your therapist is trained to avoid these areas and will focus on providing a safe and relaxing experience.

Will the massage be painful? No, pregnancy massage is designed to be gentle and soothing, not painful. The therapist uses techniques tailored to your comfort and avoids deep or intense pressure unless specifically requested in non-sensitive areas. If you feel any discomfort during the massage, let your therapist know immediately so adjustments can be made.

What should I wear during the massage? You can wear whatever makes you feel most comfortable. Many clients choose to undress to their level of comfort, typically remaining in their underwear. You will be properly draped with sheets throughout the session, ensuring your privacy and comfort. If you prefer, you can also wear loose clothing during the massage.

Am I a high risk pregnancy? A high-risk pregnancy is one where complications may arise due to factors like a history of preterm labor, multiple pregnancies (twins or more), preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, or other medical conditions. If you’re unsure about whether your pregnancy is high-risk, consult your healthcare provider for guidance. They can provide personalised advice on whether a pregnancy massage is safe for you.
