Prenatal
Massage
Gentle, supportive massage designed around the comfort and changing needs of pregnancy.
Prenatal Massage at Kneaded Relief Massage & Spa uses comfortable positioning, supportive bolsters and carefully adapted massage techniques to help expecting mothers relax and receive focused attention to areas carrying muscular tension.
What Is Prenatal Massage?
Massage thoughtfully adapted for the physical changes and comfort needs of pregnancy.
Prenatal Massage modifies traditional massage techniques and positioning to create a comfortable, supportive experience during pregnancy.
As pregnancy progresses, areas such as the lower back, hips, shoulders and legs may carry additional muscular tension. Your Massage Therapist can focus on these areas while adapting the session to your comfort.
Pillows, bolsters and supportive positioning may be used so you can relax without remaining in an uncomfortable position.
Pressure is personalized throughout the appointment. Prenatal Massage should feel comfortable and supportive, and you are encouraged to communicate whenever you would like your positioning or pressure adjusted.
Pregnancy Changes the Massage
Positioning, pressure and areas of focus are adapted around pregnancy rather than expecting you to fit into a standard massage routine.

Why Choose Prenatal Massage?
Pregnancy can change how your body feels from week to week. Prenatal Massage gives you a session designed around those changing comfort needs.
Many clients simply want an opportunity to slow down, relax and receive focused attention to muscles working differently during pregnancy.
Your session can be adjusted according to the areas carrying the most muscular tension that day.
Tell Us About Your Pregnancy
Before your massage, tell your therapist about pregnancy-related complications, activity restrictions or instructions from your prenatal healthcare provider. If your pregnancy is considered high-risk or you have medical concerns, speak with your obstetric provider or midwife before scheduling massage.
Back Tension
Focused massage can be directed toward muscles of the back that may feel increasingly tight as pregnancy progresses.
Hip & Pelvic-Area Muscles
Massage may focus on surrounding muscular areas that are carrying additional tension.
Neck & Shoulder Tension
Gentle focused work can be included for the neck, upper back and shoulders when those areas feel tight.
Tired Legs
Your session can include comfortable massage techniques for muscles of the legs.
Time to Slow Down
Prenatal Massage can provide dedicated time to relax in a comfortable, supportive setting.
A Pregnancy Wellness Routine
Prenatal Massage can be scheduled as occasional relaxation or incorporated into your self-care routine.
How Prenatal Massage Is Adapted
The biggest difference is not simply pressure. It is how the entire massage is adjusted around comfort, positioning and pregnancy.
Comfortable Positioning
Your therapist selects positioning intended to keep you comfortable throughout the session.
Added Support
Pillows and bolsters may be placed where additional support helps you relax more comfortably.
Adapted Pressure
Massage pressure and techniques are modified according to pregnancy, sensitivity and comfort.
Personalized Focus
The areas receiving the most attention can change depending on how your body feels that day.
Tell Us Whenever Something Needs to Change
Pregnancy can make a comfortable position become uncomfortable quickly. Tell your therapist whenever you need to shift, add support or change pressure.
Comfortable. Supportive. Personalized.
Prenatal Massage should adapt to you — not the other way around.
At Kneaded Relief Massage & Spa, your session is personalized around comfort, positioning, pressure and the areas where your muscles are carrying tension.
Choose 30, 60 or 90 minutes depending on whether you want focused attention or a longer, more complete relaxation experience.
Licensed Massage Therapists
Your session is provided with professional attention to comfort, communication and pregnancy-specific positioning.
Comfortable Positioning
Your position can be supported and adjusted throughout the session as needed.
Communication Matters
Pressure, focus areas and positioning can be changed based on what feels comfortable that day.
