Why Every Mom-to-Be Deserves Prenatal Massage Therapy

Pregnancy is beautiful — but it can also bring muscle aches, fatigue, swelling, and stress. At Uniphysio, our Prenatal Massage Therapy sessions are designed to help expecting mothers feel relaxed, balanced, and supported through every stage of pregnancy.


What Is Prenatal Massage Therapy?

Prenatal Massage Therapy is a safe, specialized form of massage that supports your changing body. Our registered therapist use side-lying or semi-reclined positions and gentle pressure to:

  • Ease back and pelvic pain

  • Improve circulation and reduce swelling

  • Relieve muscle tension

  • Promote better sleep and relaxation

Each session is tailored to your needs and performed in a calm, supportive environment.


Benefits of Prenatal Massage Therapy


Relieves Back, Hip, and Leg Pain

Growing belly and posture changes often lead to discomfort. Massage relaxes tight muscles, eases sciatic pain, and improves mobility.


Reduces Stress and Improves Sleep

Gentle touch stimulates serotonin and dopamine — helping you sleep better and feel emotionally balanced.


Reduces Swelling and Improves Circulation

Prenatal massage supports lymphatic flow, reduces fluid retention, and helps your body feel lighter.


Encourages Relaxation and Bonding

It’s a peaceful moment to connect with your baby and your body — promoting emotional well-being throughout pregnancy.


Safety Comes First

Our therapist is trained in pregnancy-safe techniques, using proper positioning and bolsters for comfort. We avoid deep pressure on the abdomen or legs and always adjust based on your stage of pregnancy. Before booking, we recommend confirming with your healthcare provider — especially if your pregnancy is high-risk.
