Comfort through every trimester
Prenatal Massage in Whitehorse
Gentle Care for a Body That Is Changing
Pregnancy brings many physical changes, and it’s common to experience muscle tension, aches, and fatigue along the way. Prenatal massage with a registered massage therapist at Sore Spot offers a calm hour to rest, with positioning and pressure chosen to keep you comfortable.
What Is Prenatal Massage?
Prenatal massage is a hands-on treatment designed to support comfort and relaxation during pregnancy. Your registered massage therapist will adjust positioning and pressure so that the session feels comfortable for you.
Treatment can focus on areas commonly affected by pregnancy, including the lower back, hips, and legs. Your therapist will adjust the pressure and pace based on your comfort and preferences. If you would like care at another stage of life, our Massage Therapy and Deep Tissue Massage options are available too.
How Pregnancy Can Feel in Your Body
As your pregnancy progresses, you may notice physical changes such as:
- Your lower back aches after sitting or standing for extended periods.
- Your hips feel stiff or uncomfortable when walking or resting.
- Your legs feel heavy and tired by the end of the day.
- Your neck and shoulders feel tense from changes in posture.
These experiences are common, and a prenatal massage can offer a calm hour to rest and feel looked after.
How Your Therapist Helps
Your appointment begins with a brief discussion about your pregnancy, any areas of discomfort, and your treatment preferences. Your therapist will use this information to adjust your positioning and massage techniques, checking in throughout the treatment.
If you have a high-risk pregnancy, pregnancy-related complications, or concerns about receiving massage therapy, please consult your doctor or midwife before booking. Let your massage therapist know about any relevant health concerns before treatment begins.
Is Prenatal Massage Right for You?
Prenatal massage may be a good fit for you, and you do not need a specific reason to book.
- You are expecting, and your body feels stiff, sore, or tired.
- You would like an hour of quiet, supported rest.
- You are looking for a relaxing way to care for yourself during pregnancy.
- You would like to talk with a therapist about what to expect before your first visit.
