Pregnancy places new demands on the body, and prenatal massage provides safe, targeted relief throughout all trimesters. Our Prenatal Massage in Ottawa offers proven benefits guided by trained Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) who specialize in pregnancy care.
1. Reduces Lower Back, Hip & Pelvic Pain
Hormonal changes and a shifting center of gravity can create tension in the lower back, hips, and pelvis. Prenatal massage reduces muscle tightness, relieves nerve compression, and supports pain-free movement.
2. Improves Circulation & Reduces Swelling
Pregnant clients often experience swelling in the legs, ankles, and hands. Gentle massage stimulates lymphatic flow, reduces fluid retention, and improves overall circulation.
3. Eases Sciatica & Nerve Pressure
As the uterus grows, added pressure on the sciatic nerve can cause shooting pain down the legs. Prenatal massage eases muscular tension around the lower spine and glutes to help reduce sciatic discomfort.
4. Relieves Stress, Anxiety & Sleep Disturbances
Hormonal changes may increase emotional stress and disrupt sleep. Prenatal massage promotes deep relaxation, improves sleep quality, and calms the nervous system — supporting a healthier pregnancy.
5. Reduces Muscle Tension in Neck, Shoulders & Upper Back
Breast changes, posture shifts, and carrying new weight can strain the upper back and shoulders. Massage helps release these tight areas, improving comfort and posture.
6. Supports Overall Wellness for Mom & Baby
By improving circulation, lowering stress hormones, and easing physical discomfort, prenatal massage supports both maternal health and a more comfortable pregnancy journey.
