Pregnancy is a beautiful journey—but let’s be real, it’s also a full-body transformation that can leave moms-to-be feeling tired, tense, and a little out of sorts. As spring blooms and we celebrate the season of renewal (and yes, all things egg-shaped), it’s the perfect time to prioritize wellness and discover the many prenatal massage benefits available to you. At SKP Massage, we believe every stage of motherhood deserves care and support—and that starts with feeling good in your own skin.
What Is Prenatal Massage?
Prenatal massage is a gentle, therapeutic approach tailored specifically for the unique needs of expectant mothers. It focuses on easing the physical and emotional changes that happen during pregnancy—reducing swelling, relieving back and hip pain, and calming the nervous system.

Our therapists are trained to safely and comfortably support your body through all trimesters. We use supportive cushions and side-lying positions so you can truly relax without putting pressure on baby (or your bladder!).
The Benefits of Massage During Pregnancy
Massage is more than just a moment of rest—it’s a vital form of prenatal care. Studies show that prenatal massage can:
-
💆♀️ Ease lower back, hip, and sciatic pain
-
🌿 Reduce swelling in legs, ankles, and feet
-
💤 Improve sleep and reduce anxiety
-
❤️ Encourage circulation and lower stress hormones
-
🤰 Support emotional well-being during a time of big changes
Simply put: when mom feels better, everything flows a little easier.
Is Prenatal Massage Right for You?
Prenatal massage is generally safe for healthy pregnancies, especially after the first trimester. If you’re dealing with specific medical conditions or high-risk concerns, we always recommend checking with your doctor before booking. We’re happy to work with you and your care team to make sure your session is safe and beneficial.
