Prenatal Massage is Great for Expecting Mothers

A pregnancy massage is not only a great way to take care of your body, but it can also do wonders for your mental wellness. It can help relieve joint pain and muscle aches, reduce symptoms of depression, and decrease stress. Plus, it may even help improve labor outcomes. We know that pregnancy can be physically and emotionally demanding, and our team looks forward to providing you with time dedicated to pampering.

Relieve Physical Discomfort

Changes in posture and added weight during pregnancy can cause muscle tension and joint pain, especially in areas like the back and hips. Prenatal massage is an excellent way to relieve this physical discomfort. It eases muscle tension, boosts circulation, and reduces swelling in the joints. If you experience sciatic nerve pain, massage therapy can help reduce that, too. Prenatal massage can also help reduce labor pains and improve labor outcomes by boosting oxytocin production.

Support Emotional Well-Being

Getting a massage while pregnant offers a variety of benefits for your mental health. It can help your body regulate serotonin and oxytocin, which can improve your mood. Massages can also reduce stress and anxiety, relieve symptoms of depression, help you sleep better, and enhance your overall well-being.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Massage

There’s not much you need to do to prepare for a prenatal massage. Feel free to wear whatever you’re comfortable in. To make your massage the best experience possible, we’ll help you get into a comfortable position on your side and support your body with pillows. Try to quiet your mind and enjoy this time to rest. Massage therapy can typically be performed once every few weeks in your second trimester and up to once per week later in your pregnancy.

What to Expect During Your Massage Therapy Session

The skilled massage therapists at Stile are dedicated to providing a relaxing experience during your massage. You’ll lay on your side with specially designed pillows supporting you for the utmost comfort. Our Columbus prenatal massage services relieve muscle tension and swelling through Swedish massage techniques like gentle pressure and light kneading. We’ll focus on areas like your shoulders, neck, arms, hands, lower back, and feet. Treat yourself to much-deserved pampering with either a 50-minute massage or an 80-minute massage depending on your needs and schedule.

How to Get Comfortable During Prenatal Massage


During your massage, you’ll lie on your side for a comfortable experience. This is also typically the safest position for you and baby while receiving a prenatal massage. Lying on your back can put extra pressure on your nerves, so instead of your back we have you lie on your side and surround you with specially designed pillows to keep you feeling cozy, relaxed, and free from stress. 

Ensuring Safety During Your Massage


Each massage therapist at Stile Salon prioritizes your comfort and safety during your massage. Prenatal massage is typically considered safe for expecting mothers in their second or third trimester. If you’re in your first trimester, you’re at a higher risk of pregnancy complications and will have to wait until later in your pregnancy to receive massage therapy. But don’t worry, this soothing massage is worth the wait! 

To give you the best experience, we have you take a side-lying position where you and baby are supported by pillows, which is safer than lying on your back or stomach. Some other spas have tables with a hole cut out so you can lie on your stomach, however we feel that lying on your side is the safest and most comfortable position. 

Morning sickness, high blood pressure, and conditions like diabetes or preeclampsia can make getting a massage risky during pregnancy, so be sure to talk to your practitioner before receiving a massage. Even if you don’t experience these, it’s still a good idea to discuss prenatal massage with your practitioner ahead of time. When you get the green light, we’re happy to schedule your appointment!

Is Deep Tissue Massage Safe?

At Stile Salon, our prenatal massage is a Swedish massage that uses light pressure to soothe sore muscles and achy joints. If you prefer a massage with firmer pressure, we can perform that on areas of your upper body. Deep tissue massage at the legs or abdomen is not recommended for pregnant women, who tend to be more susceptible to blood clots. Massaging deep tissue could cause the clots to come loose as well as increase chances of complications. Instead of a deep tissue massage, you’ll enjoy a gentler massage with light, calming strokes and kneading that relieve muscle tension and promote relaxation.
