Prenatal Massage in Edmonton

Safe, Supportive, and Soothing Massage Therapy for Every Stage of Pregnancy

Pregnancy brings extraordinary changes to the body — some beautiful, some challenging. Prenatal Massage at Massage Renewal is designed to provide gentle, therapeutic relief from the physical and emotional stresses of pregnancy. Our Registered Massage Therapists are trained in safe prenatal positioning, pressure techniques, and the unique needs of expectant mothers.

Whether you’re experiencing back pain, swelling, sleep disruption, or simply need a moment of calm, Prenatal Massage offers a supportive, relaxing environment where your comfort and safety always come first.

What Is Prenatal Massage?

Prenatal Massage is a specialized form of therapeutic massage tailored to the needs of pregnant clients. Using safe techniques and strategic positioning, your therapist helps relieve muscle tension, reduce discomfort, and promote relaxation without compromising the safety of you or your baby.

  • Gentle therapeutic pressure

  • Side-lying or semi-reclined positioning

  • Pillows and bolsters for support

  • Techniques to relieve lower-back and hip tension

  • Lymphatic-style movements for swelling

  • Soothing Swedish techniques to calm the nervous system

Your comfort is our priority. You’ll be supported with pillows and bolsters, usually in a side-lying or semi-reclined position that keeps your spine aligned and reduces pressure.

Prenatal Massage focuses on relieving strain while keeping pressure safe and appropriate. Your RMT will adjust techniques based on your trimester and comfort level.

Open, Ongoing Communication

Pressure is always customized to your needs. You are encouraged to share feedback during your session to ensure maximum comfort and safety.

Calm, Nurturing Environment

Each treatment is designed to help you relax, breathe deeply, and enjoy a sense of physical and emotional ease.
