PRENATAL + POSTNATAL MASSAGE

A Prenatal Massage is specifically designed to support the unique needs of pregnant women, whereas postnatal massage is focused on recovery from childbirth.

During a prenatal massage, the therapist will typically position the woman in a way that is comfortable for her and uses techniques that are safe for both the mother and baby. The therapist may use pillows, bolsters, and other props to support the woman's body and ensure that she is comfortable. Prenatal massage can help alleviate common pregnancy-related discomforts such as back pain, joint pain, headaches, and swelling. It can also help improve circulation, reduce swelling, and promote relaxation.

Postnatal Massage, on the other hand, is focused on helping the body recover after childbirth. The therapist may use techniques to help release tension and tightness in the muscles, particularly in the back, hips, and pelvis. Postnatal massage can also help reduce swelling, improve circulation, and promote healing. It can also be a time for new mothers to relax and take care of themselves, which can be important for overall well-being during the postpartum period.
