When Do You Need Pregnancy Massage? 

Pregnancy massage is a gentle therapy that supports physical and emotional changes during pregnancy. It helps ease discomfort, improve circulation, and promote relaxation in all trimesters—especially during key stages.

01

First Trimester

To help manage early pregnancy symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, and mood changes. Gentle massage during this stage can promote relaxation, reduce anxiety, and support overall emotional wellbeing.

03

Third Trimester

To reduce swelling, relieve persistent back, hip, and joint pain, and prepare the body for childbirth. Massage in the final trimester can also support better sleep and decrease physical discomfort as the due date approaches.

02

Second Trimester

To alleviate discomfort from a growing belly, shifting posture, and increased pressure on the lower back. Massage during this stage can help ease muscular tension, improve circulation, and reduce leg cramps or swelling.

04

Preparing body for labor

In the later stages of pregnancy, massage can help relax muscles and support overall comfort in preparation for birth.
