Prenatal vs. Traditional Massage
A prenatal massage at Aquarius Spa is tailored to provide the utmost comfort and safety for both mother and baby. Unlike traditional massage, prenatal massage incorporates specific techniques and positioning that address the unique needs of expectant mothers. During a prenatal massage, your therapist will:
- Avoid pressure points that may stimulate uterine contractions.
- Use gentle strokes and supportive movements.
- Employ specialized pillows to comfortably position you as your pregnancy progresses.
This approach promotes relaxation, stress relief, and alleviation of common discomforts such as back pain, swelling, and joint stiffness. By prioritizing your well-being and safety, we aim to enhance your prenatal experience and support your journey to motherhood.
Prenatal Massage FAQs
Most massage therapists recommend waiting until after the first trimester to begin prenatal massage. However, this can vary depending on your individual health and pregnancy circumstances.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to your prenatal massage session. You’ll be properly draped during the massage, exposing only the areas being worked on.
Prenatal massage may not be recommended for women with certain high-risk conditions. Always consult your healthcare provider, especially if you have conditions like preeclampsia or high blood pressure or if you are at risk for preterm labor.
While massage can help relax the body in preparation for labor, there’s no evidence that it can induce labor. However, as a precaution, we do avoid certain pressure points if you are late in your pregnancy. Always communicate with your Aquarius Spa massage therapist about any discomfort or concerns that arise during your prenatal massage session.
