Care Through Every Stage

What Prenatal Massage Is

Prenatal massage is massage therapy adapted to pregnancy: gentler positioning, side-lying support with cushions, and pressure suited to how your body is changing. It may help ease the low back and hip aches that come with carrying differently, settle disrupted sleep, and give you an hour where nothing is asked of you.

Every session starts with how the pregnancy is going. What felt fine last month may not this month, so the work adapts visit to visit. If low back pain is what brought you here, you're in the most common company there is.

Set Up for Comfort

What a Prenatal Session Looks Like

The setup takes a little longer than a standard massage, because comfort is the whole foundation.

  1. 1

    A Short Intake

    How the pregnancy is going, anything your midwife or doctor has flagged, and what's bothering you most this week.
  2. 2

    Getting Positioned

    Side-lying with cushion support, arranged until you're comfortable enough to properly relax. We adjust as often as you need.
  3. 3

    The Treatment

    Gentle, focused work through the areas that need it, at a pressure that feels right. You can change position any time.
  4. 4

    Afterwards

    Water, a slow get-up, and if it helped, we can set a rhythm of visits through the trimesters.

Who You See and Where

Our Approach to Prenatal Care

Treatment comes from a Registered Massage Therapist, and the first conversation is about your pregnancy, not a form. If anything in your history needs your midwife's or doctor's input first, I'll say so before we treat. The clinic is a quiet, private room at 16 Bristol Ave in Dovercourt Village, in Toronto's west end. One person at a time, no waiting room. Questions before you book? Get in touch.

Common Questions About Prenatal Massage

Is massage safe during pregnancy?

For most people with a healthy pregnancy, yes, with positioning and pressure adapted. Some situations need a doctor's or midwife's OK first, which is exactly what the intake sorts out. When in doubt, we check.

Can I lie on my front?

Not in the usual way as things progress. Side-lying with cushion support is the standard setup, and most people find it more comfortable than they expect.

Which trimester can I start in?

People book across all stages. Tell me where you are when you book, and flag anything your care provider has mentioned; the session adapts to the stage you're at.

How often should I come?

Whatever your body and schedule allow. Some people come monthly and more often near the end. There's no set program; we figure out what helps.

Will insurance cover it?

Many extended health plans in Ontario cover RMT massage therapy, prenatal included. Your receipt carries the details your insurer needs.
