Get answers to common questions about Prenatal Massage - 90 Minutes.

Yes. Prenatal Massage 90 Minutes is generally safe after the first trimester when performed by a trained prenatal therapist. We adapt positioning and techniques, avoid contraindicated areas, and require medical clearance for high-risk pregnancies. Always consult your obstetrician if you have concerns.

Arrive hydrated, wear loose comfortable clothing, and eat a light snack beforehand. Bring any relevant medical information and a list of concerns. Expect a short intake consultation so the therapist can customize the 90-minute session to your trimester and symptoms.

Most 90-minute prenatal massages use side-lying positioning with supportive bolsters, pillows, and wedges to relieve pressure on the abdomen and vena cava. Therapists may also use modified semi-reclining positions and regularly adjust support for comfort and safety.

Contraindications include uncontrolled hypertension, preeclampsia, placenta previa, active bleeding, recent miscarriage, deep vein thrombosis, or other high-risk conditions. We screen clients beforehand and will require physician clearance if any risk factors or serious pregnancy complications exist.

Yes—gentle prenatal massage techniques stimulate circulation and lymphatic drainage, which can reduce mild swelling in the legs and ankles. Results are often temporary; regular sessions, hydration, elevation, and medical monitoring are recommended for persistent or severe edema.

Frequency depends on symptoms, trimester, and your healthcare provider’s guidance. Many clients schedule every one to three weeks for symptom relief; others choose monthly maintenance. We’ll create a personalized plan during consultation, adjusting as needs and pregnancy progress.
