Prenatal & Pregnancy Massage
Therapeutic support for your changing body throughout pregnancy
Pregnancy changes your body in countless ways, and your massage should change with it.
At LM Therapeutics, Prenatal & Pregnancy Massage is customized around what you're experiencing at each stage of pregnancy, whether that's swelling and fluid retention, back and hip discomfort, muscle tension, or simply the need to relax.
Rather than following one standard prenatal routine, we adjust your treatment to what your body needs that day.

Is Prenatal Massage Right for you?
You're experiencing pregnancy-related swelling or fluid retention
Your back or hips feel tight or uncomfortable
You're experiencing neck or shoulder tension
Changes in posture and belly weight are contributing to aches and pains
Your knees or lower body are feeling additional strain
You want therapeutic support as your body changes
You simply want an opportunity to relax and recharge
Every pregnancy is different, which is why every treatment at LM Therapeutics is customized.
This Isn't a One-Size-Fits-All Pregnancy Massage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Gentle lymphatic techniques may be incorporated for clients experiencing pregnancy-related swelling and fluid retention.
Swedish Massage
Gentle Swedish techniques can provide a relaxing, restorative experience when your primary goal is rest and stress relief.
Therapeutic Massage
Modified therapeutic techniques can address areas such as the back, neck, hips, and knees when changes in posture and additional weight are creating tension or discomfort.
Pressure, positioning, and techniques are always adjusted for pregnancy and your individual needs.
Comfort Throughout Your Pregnancy
Being pregnant shouldn't mean spending your massage worrying about how you're positioned.
LM Therapeutics has a specialized pregnancy pillow designed to comfortably accommodate the belly when appropriate.
We can also position clients on their side using supportive pillows, allowing your therapist to comfortably work on areas such as the back and hips.
Direct abdominal work, excessively deep pressure, and certain trigger-point techniques are avoided or modified as appropriate.
Our goal is for you to feel supported, comfortable, and cared for throughout your treatment.
The LM Therapeutics difference
Customized to Your Body
There is no standard pregnancy experience, so we don't believe in providing a standard pregnancy massage.
We begin by understanding what you're experiencing and adjust the treatment accordingly.
Therapeutic, Not Just Relaxing
Relaxation can absolutely be part of your appointment, but LM Therapeutics takes a more therapeutic approach to massage.
Whether you're coming in because your hips hurt, your legs feel swollen, your back is tight, or you simply need an hour to yourself, your therapist will tailor the session around your needs.
Specialized Training
Prenatal treatments are performed by licensed/certified massage therapists with additional training in pregnancy massage and the modifications needed to comfortably work with expecting clients.
What Should I Expect?
60 Minutes | 75 Minutes | 90 Minutes
When appropriate, clients may receive massage as frequently as weekly and continue treatment throughout pregnancy.Before your appointment, we recommend arriving well hydrated and letting your therapist know about any changes in your pregnancy or recommendations from your healthcare provider.
When Medical Clearance May Be Needed
- Personalized assessment of your specific challenges and goals
- Recognition of connections between different symptoms
- Consideration of lifestyle factors that influence your results
- Practical recommendations to extend benefits between sessions
Many expecting clients can receive appropriately modified prenatal massage throughout pregnancy. However, your individual health and pregnancy history matter.
If your pregnancy is considered high risk, you have a history or risk of blood clots, or you have another medical concern that could affect treatment, LM Therapeutics may require clearance from your physician before your appointment.
When in doubt, speak with your healthcare provider before scheduling.
Common questions
For many clients, appropriately modified prenatal massage can begin during the first trimester. If you have a high-risk pregnancy or other medical concerns, speak with your healthcare provider and let LM Therapeutics know before scheduling.
The old blanket recommendation to avoid all massage during the first trimester isn't supported as a universal rule. However, every pregnancy and health history is different. Appropriate techniques and modifications should be used, and clients with high-risk pregnancies or other concerns should consult their healthcare provider.
That depends on what your body needs. Your therapist may incorporate gentle lymphatic, Swedish, or modified therapeutic techniques based on your symptoms, goals, and stage of pregnancy.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage techniques may be incorporated to support clients experiencing pregnancy-related swelling or fluid retention when appropriate.
LM Therapeutics has a specialized pregnancy pillow designed to accommodate the belly when appropriate. Side-lying positioning with supportive pillows is also available. Your therapist will determine a comfortable position based on your pregnancy and preferences.
