Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it often comes with physical discomfort, joint pain, and stress. Similarly, the postpartum phase brings challenges as your body recovers and adjusts. Our specialized prenatal and postnatal massage services in Toronto provide expert massage therapy to help you relax, relieve tension, and support your well-being during these critical stages. Whether you’re an expecting mother or navigating life after childbirth, our expert prenatal massage treatments offer the care and comfort you deserve.

What to Expect During Your Prenatal Massage

When you arrive for your prenatal or postnatal massage, your experience will be tailored to your specific needs:

  • Consultation – Your session begins with a quick discussion about your current pregnancy stage or postpartum recovery, joint pain, discomfort areas, and specific concerns.

  • Safe and Comfortable Positioning – You will be positioned to ensure complete safety and relaxation using supportive pillows and cushions. For prenatal massage treatments, we avoid placing pressure on the abdomen and ensure a side-lying or semi-reclined position.

  • Calming Atmosphere – Soft lighting, a peaceful setting, and mindful care create a relaxing experience that renews you.

Each session typically lasts 60 minutes, offering plenty of time to focus on your needs while encouraging total relaxation.

FAQ ABOUT PRENATAL MASSAGE

  • Our treatments are performed by Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs), which means they are eligible for coverage under most insurance plans.

  • A prenatal massage is a therapeutic bodywork that focuses on the unique needs of the mother-to-be as her body experiences the dramatic changes of pregnancy. It aims to enhance the function of muscles and joints, improve circulation, and relieve mental and physical fatigue.

  • You can start receiving prenatal massages after your first trimester. Getting a massage throughout your pregnancy is generally safe, but it’s always best to consult your healthcare provider before beginning any new treatment.

  • The frequency of prenatal massages can vary depending on individual needs and the advice of your healthcare provider. Many women find that monthly massages during the first and second trimesters, increasing to bi-weekly or even weekly sessions during the third trimester, can be very beneficial.

  • Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing for your prenatal massage. You will be properly draped during the session to ensure your comfort and privacy, so you can also undress to your comfort level.

  • You can continue to receive prenatal massages up until your due date. Many women find them particularly helpful in the final weeks of pregnancy to relieve stress and discomfort.

  • Postnatal massage therapy focuses on recovery after childbirth, easing muscle soreness, promoting relaxation, and supporting physical and emotional healing.

  • Postnatal massage therapy can begin as early as a few days after a natural delivery or once your doctor gives clearance, especially after a C-section.
