Prenatal Massage in Langford

Why people book prenatal massage

Most people come in for back pain, hip and pelvic discomfort, tight shoulders and neck, leg cramps, or simply because they are tired and need a break. Massage therapy can help ease muscle tension and help you relax, which many people find makes it easier to rest and sleep.

Comfortable, supported positioning

As your pregnancy progresses, lying flat on your stomach or back for a long time becomes uncomfortable. During a prenatal massage you are positioned on your side with pillows and bolsters supporting your head, belly, hips and knees, so you can fully relax. We change positions whenever you need to.

You stay covered with sheets throughout, with only the area being treated uncovered. You are always in control and can ask for changes at any time.

Pressure that suits you

Prenatal massage does not have to be light. Some people want a gentle, relaxing session, and others want firm work on a sore low back or hips. The pressure is your choice, and we adjust as we go.

Safety first

Your intake form includes questions about your pregnancy and health, and we go over anything relevant before we start. If you have a high-risk pregnancy or a specific condition, check with your doctor or midwife first and let me know what they recommend. If anything feels off during a session, we stop or change the treatment.

After your baby arrives

Massage therapy is just as useful after birth, when feeding, carrying and broken sleep can leave your neck, shoulders and back aching. Postnatal appointments are booked the same way.

Booking and billing

Prenatal massage is booked as a 45 or 60 minute massage therapy treatment. We typically direct bill most major insurance providers, and same-day and last-minute openings show up online as soon as they are available.
