Prenatal Massage: Comfort, Calm and Care for Expecting Mothers
Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it also brings physical and emotional changes that can cause discomfort. A Prenatal Massage is a safe, gentle, and effective way to relieve some of the common aches and pains associated with pregnancy, while also supporting overall wellness.
What is a Prenatal Massage?
Prenatal massage is a specialised form of therapeutic massage tailored to the unique needs of pregnant women. It focuses on reducing stress, relieving muscle tension, improving circulation, and promoting relaxation during all stages of pregnancy.
Unlike standard massages, prenatal treatments are performed with extra care to ensure comfort and safety. Side-lying positions, supportive cushions, and gentle pressure are used to avoid strain on the body, especially the lower back, hips, and legs.
Benefits of Prenatal Massage
Pregnancy can bring a range of physical challenges, from back pain to swelling and sleep disturbances. Regular massage can help ease these symptoms and create a more comfortable pregnancy experience.
Some of the key benefits include:
- Relief from lower back and hip pain
- Reduced swelling in feet and legs
- Improved sleep and reduced anxiety
- Better circulation and reduced fatigue
- Enhanced connection between mother and baby
Massage can also support hormone balance and help prepare the body for labour by improving flexibility and reducing muscular tension.

Is prenatal massage safe during all stages of pregnancy?
Prenatal massage is generally safe throughout pregnancy, especially during the second and third trimesters. For the first trimester, it’s important to consult your healthcare provider first. At Repose Melbourne, we tailor each session based on your pregnancy stage to ensure maximum comfort and safety.
Do I need a doctor’s approval before booking a prenatal massage?
In most cases, a doctor’s approval isn’t required for a low-risk pregnancy. However, if you have any complications or concerns, it’s always best to check with your healthcare provider before scheduling a massage.
What position will I be in during the massage?
To ensure your comfort and safety, prenatal massages are performed in a side-lying position with supportive cushions. This positioning helps relieve pressure on your lower back and abdomen while promoting relaxation.
What should I wear to my prenatal massage appointment?
Wear loose, comfortable clothing. You’ll be draped with towels or blankets during the session to ensure privacy and warmth. Our therapists are trained to work around your comfort level at all times.
How often should I get a prenatal massage?
This depends on your body’s needs and how far along you are in your pregnancy. Many women benefit from monthly sessions in the second trimester and bi-weekly or weekly sessions in the third trimester. Your therapist will help create a schedule that supports your well-being.
