Pre/Post-Natal Massage in Burnaby
Pre/Post-Natal Massage Therapy
Pre/post-natal massage is specialized massage for pregnancy and postpartum recovery. Your RMT uses safe, gentle techniques suited to each stage, relieving tension in the back, hips, and legs during pregnancy and supporting healing and relaxation after birth. Sessions are conducted with proper positioning and support for both your comfort and safety.
Pre/post-natal massage may be a great fit if you want support with:
- Reducing back, hip, and pelvic discomfort during pregnancy
- Relieving swelling and improving circulation in the legs and feet
- Managing stress, anxiety, and sleep difficulties
- Supporting postpartum recovery and rebalancing tired muscles
Your session begins with a brief intake to understand where you are in your pregnancy or postpartum recovery and what’s bothering you most. Your RMT will adjust positioning, pressure, and techniques to suit your needs, whether that means side-lying support with bolsters during pregnancy or targeted work on areas of postpartum tension. You’ll leave feeling lighter, more at ease, and supported.
