What are the Benefits?

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it can also come with its share of discomforts. At Oak Integrative, our prenatal massage is designed to help expecting mothers feel supported, relaxed, and cared for throughout every stage of pregnancy.

  • Pregnancy can put extra strain on your back, hips, and joints due to shifting posture and added weight. Prenatal massage targets these areas with gentle techniques to ease tension, reduce discomfort, and improve mobility, helping you move more comfortably throughout your day.

  • Swelling in the legs, feet, and hands is common during pregnancy. Massage encourages better circulation and lymphatic flow, helping to reduce fluid buildup and relieve the heavy, achy feeling often associated with edema.

  • Hormonal changes and the physical demands of pregnancy can increase stress and anxiety. Prenatal massage promotes relaxation and calm by releasing muscle tension, improving mood, and supporting emotional well-being for both mother and baby.

  • Discomfort, stress, and body changes can make restful sleep elusive. Prenatal massage helps relax the nervous system, soothe tired muscles, and promote deep relaxation, making it easier to fall asleep and enjoy restorative rest.

  • As your belly grows, your body’s alignment shifts, which can lead to muscle imbalances and discomfort. Regular prenatal massage supports proper posture, eases tension in overworked muscles, and helps maintain balance and comfort throughout pregnancy.

What to Expect During Your Session

Every prenatal massage is tailored to your unique needs. Sessions typically begin with a brief consultation to discuss areas of discomfort and any health considerations. You’ll be comfortably positioned—we offer side-lying options as well as specialized pregnancy pillows that allow you to lie on your tummy safely, so you can choose the position that feels best for you. Your therapist will use gentle, targeted techniques to release tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. Most sessions last 60 minutes, but we can customize the duration and focus based on your preferences. You’ll leave feeling lighter, calm, and restored.

FAQs

Benefits of Postnatal Massage

Relief from Muscle Tension & Pain

Childbirth and caring for a newborn can put significant strain on your back, neck, shoulders, and hips. Postnatal massage targets these areas to relieve discomfort, ease tension, and improve mobility, helping you feel more comfortable and energized.

Reduction of Swelling & Fluid Retention

Postpartum swelling is common, especially in the first few days and weeks after delivery. Massage supports circulation and lymphatic flow, helping reduce fluid buildup and promoting faster recovery.

Stress Relief & Emotional Support

Adjusting to life with a newborn can be stressful and overwhelming. Massage encourages relaxation, lowers stress levels, and provides a calming, nurturing experience to support emotional well-being.

Improved Sleep & Energy Levels

Exhaustion is common for new parents. Postnatal massage helps relax the body and mind, making it easier to rest when possible and boosting overall energy levels to keep up with daily demands.

Support for Postpartum Recovery

Massage can aid in the recovery of abdominal muscles, improve posture, and help release tension from carrying and feeding your baby. It complements other postnatal care routines and helps your body restore balance.

Helps Restore Core & Pelvic Floor Strength

Postnatal massage can support the recovery of abdominal muscles and the pelvic floor after childbirth. By easing tension, promoting circulation, and encouraging proper alignment, massage complements your postpartum exercise or rehabilitation routine, helping your body regain strength and stability more comfortably.
