Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it can also be physically challenging for the body. As the body undergoes various changes, pregnancy can cause discomfort and pain, not just morning sickness and cravings.

Prenatal massage from Naples Massage and Neuromuscular is a safe and effective way to alleviate some of that discomfort while promoting overall wellness. In today’s blog, we’re covering the benefits of prenatal massages and postnatal massages, so read on to learn more, or schedule your healing-touch massage session today!

Benefits of a Prenatal Massage

Prenatal massage is a type of massage therapy designed specifically for pregnant people. It uses techniques that are safe and effective for both the mother and the baby. One of the primary benefits of prenatal massage is, of course, pain relief. The neuromuscular massage techniques applied by a professional massage therapist can help to relieve areas of tension and soreness in the body that are caused by pregnancy. These targeted areas include, but are not limited to:

The upper and lower back
Weaker lower back muscles
Tension in the hips
Soreness in legs
Tiredness in feet

According to Dr. Christine Cantwell — a pre-and postnatal chiropractor, and massage therapist — targeting these areas helps reduce stress and inflammation that can be hard on the mother and infant.

Safety Considerations

It's important to note that not all massage therapists are qualified to perform prenatal and postnatal massages. When seeking prenatal and postnatal massage, it is important to find a licensed massage therapist, such as Naples Massage and Neuromuscular, with training in prenatal and postnatal massages. Further, they should be experienced and knowledgeable with proper techniques and precautions for your unique pregnancy circumstances, and operate in a soothing and professional environment.
