Prenatal Massage Vs. Regular Massage

A pre-natal massage differs from a regular massage primarily in how your body is positioned during the session. When you’re pregnant, especially after 20 weeks, lying flat on your back isn’t ideal. Instead, you’ll be placed in a semi-reclined position with a small pillow under your right hip. This helps relieve pressure on the inferior vena cava, a major vein that carries blood back to your heart. For back work, you’ll usually lie on your side so the therapist can treat your muscles without putting any stress on you or the baby. This setup is designed with safety and comfort in mind. Regular massage and pre natal massage still share the same goals, such as relaxation, pain relief, and improved circulation. Pre-natal
massage simply adds a few extra steps to make sure everything is done safely for both mom and baby. This is the level of care you can expect from our pregnancy massage in Edmonton.

Improve Mood and Outlook

Postpartum massage continues this benefit by helping regulate mood swings and emotional stress after childbirth. It can ease symptoms of postpartum depression and support a smoother emotional transition
into motherhood.

Ease Chronic Joint Pain

As pregnancy progresses, shifting posture and added weight can lead to joint stress and discomfort. Having a prenatal massage in Edmonton helps gently relieve joint pressure, especially in the hips, knees, and ankles, allowing for greater ease of movement. After childbirth, joints are still recovering from pregnancy-related changes. Massage can realign the body, ease lingering joint pain, and support the
return to normal mobility.

Relieve Tight Muscles

Ongoing tension in the back, neck, and shoulders is common during pregnancy. Edmonton prenatal massage services relax these overworked muscles, helping you move more comfortably and sleep more soundly. New mothers often carry tension from holding and feeding their babies. Postpartum massage targets those same areas to relieve upper-body strain and reduce daily discomfort.

Soothe Chronic Back Pain

Lower back pain is one of the most frequent pregnancy complaints. Massage reduces muscle tightness and addresses the structural changes that put extra strain on the spine during pregnancy. A postpartum massage helps ease lingering back pain caused by muscle fatigue, shifting posture, and daily childcare routines.

Boost Energy

When your body feels lighter and more relaxed, your energy levels naturally rise. By improving circulation and reducing discomfort, a pre natal massage helps you feel less fatigued and more ready to take on the day. For new moms, broken sleep and physical exhaustion are common. Postpartum massage promotes relaxation and better rest, making it easier for you to recover and feel more energized.

Lower Stress Hormones

Regular pre natal massage can help regulate hormone levels. Studies show that consistent massage reduces cortisol and norepinephrine while increasing serotonin and dopamine. This hormone balance can also support better cardiovascular health and improve birth outcomes. After birth, hormonal shifts can be intense. Massage can assist with bringing those levels back into balance, supporting emotional stability and overall wellness during the recovery period.

Reduce Anxiety and Depression

Through hormonal shifts and physical relief, pregnancy massage in Edmonton can lower symptoms of anxiety and depression. It’s a safe, natural way to support mental health throughout pregnancy. Postpartum massage offers the same mental health benefits by easing emotional strain and supporting your nervous system, which can help with the challenges of early motherhood.

Better Blood Circulation

Massage promotes healthy blood flow throughout the body, which delivers oxygen and nutrients to both mother and baby. Techniques like Swedish massage are especially effective for encouraging circulation without applying deep pressure. After delivery, good circulation supports tissue healing and prevents issues like blood clots or poor wound recovery. Postpartum massage maintains healthy blood flow as your body heals.

Improve Lymph Circulation to Reduce Swelling

Swelling in the legs, ankles, and feet (also known as edema) is common during pregnancy. A prenatal massage in Edmonton stimulates the lymph system to reduce fluid retention, easing discomfort and supporting waste removal from the body. In the postpartum stage, the lymphatic system may still be sluggish. Massage aids in flushing out excess fluids, reducing puffiness, and restoring a sense of lightness
in the body.

Ease Nerve Pain

Many pregnant women experience sciatic nerve pain caused by pressure from the growing uterus. A prenatal massage releases tension in nearby muscles, reducing compression on the nerve and bringing lasting relief from that deep, radiating discomfort. Even after birth, nerve pain can persist due to lingering muscle tightness or strain from labour. A postpartum massage works to calm irritated nerves and ease any residual pain.
