What is prenatal massage?

Prenatal massage, also called pregnancy massage, is registered massage therapy adapted to the physical changes and comfort needs that come with pregnancy.

Rather than following one set routine, your RMT adjusts your positioning, pressure and areas of focus as your pregnancy progresses. Pillows and bolsters support your body, and side-lying positioning is used whenever it feels more comfortable.

We don’t use a rigid trimester-by-trimester routine. Your RMT checks in at every appointment and adapts treatment to how you’re feeling that day.

How prenatal massage may help

Back and hip tension

Changes in how you stand, sit and sleep put new demands on these muscles.

Neck and shoulders

Eases tightness that builds as your posture shifts.

Tired, heavy legs

Gentle work for legs that feel achy after a long day.

Rest and relaxation

A calm hour to slow down and take care of yourself.

Who prenatal massage is great for

Any trimester

Treatment is adapted to where you are in your pregnancy.

Working through pregnancy

Long days at a desk or on your feet add up quickly.

Trouble getting comfortable

When finding a good position to rest is getting harder.

Using your benefits

RMT sessions can be claimed through most extended health plans.

Prenatal massage FAQ

Is prenatal massage covered by insurance?

Yes, when it is performed by a Registered Massage Therapist. All of the prenatal sessions on this page are RMT treatments, and we direct bill most major extended health providers. Coverage depends on your plan. Learn more about direct billing.

Is prenatal massage safe?

Prenatal massage can be appropriate during pregnancy when treatment is properly adapted to you. Let your RMT know you’re pregnant and share any changes in your health. If you have a high-risk pregnancy, complications, new or concerning symptoms, or have been advised to limit certain activities, speak with your healthcare provider before booking. HealthLink BC also has information on massage therapy during pregnancy.

When can I start prenatal massage?

There isn’t one starting point that applies to every pregnancy. Your health, symptoms and comfort should guide when treatment is right for you. If you aren’t sure, check with your healthcare provider first.

Will I need to lie on my stomach?

Usually not. As your pregnancy progresses, most treatment is done side-lying with pillows and bolsters for support. Your RMT will find a position that feels comfortable for you.

How long should my first prenatal session be?

Book the 75 minute initial assessment for your first visit so your RMT has time to go over your history and treat. After that, 60 minutes is the most popular, or 90 minutes if you want the full experience.

What should I wear?

Wear something comfortable. You’ll be properly draped throughout, and you only undress to your comfort level.

Do I pay anything upfront?

No. We take a card to hold your booking, but it is only charged for late cancellations or no-shows. You pay after your session, minus anything we direct bill.

Can I continue massage after pregnancy?

Yes. Learn more about our postpartum massage and how care can be adapted to your recovery.
