Lisa S. says, "Chris was very helpful and asked a lot of questions about my massage needs. I was having problems with my ankle and wanted to get extra attention for it. He offered me the options of a massage at the Blue Lotus or at my home. I have now had two great massages from him, the 1st at the Blue Lotus and the 2nd at home. I have had several massages at massage places and at home, but none of the took the time to find out what I specifically needed to the extent that Chris did. It made a big difference to have a massage therapist, rather than masseuses or masseurs. My ankle is feeling much better. I highly recommend him. Professional, affordable, and caring service."

Your pregnancy massage questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thervo.

How much does prenatal massage cost?

The average cost of a prenatal massage is $75 to $100+ per hour, depending on your location and the demand. Prenatal massage sessions range from 30 minutes to 2 hours in length, with longer sessions costing more in total, and shorter sessions costing more per minute.

  • A 30-minute prenatal massage costs $40 to $60.
  • A 90-minute prenatal massage costs $110 to $150.
  • A 2-hour prenatal massage costs $150 to $250.

What is a prenatal massage, and how is it different?

Prenatal massage uses mostly Swedish massage techniques with gentle pressure and long, sweeping strokes to induce relaxation. Unlike traditional massage, where the client lays flat on a massage table, most prenatal massages use strategically placed pillows to help cradle and support the client comfortably on her side or back. Some facilities have a special pillow that allows you to lay face-down.

Depending on the session length, the therapist may focus on one or more known problem areas, such as the lower back, neck, hips, legs and feet. Prenatal massage never uses deep or intense pressure, which could be harmful during pregnancy.

Are prenatal massages safe?

Prenatal massage is safe in most cases. Be sure to discuss any type of massage therapy with your doctor first to confirm it is safe for you. Avoid prenatal massage if you are experiencing nausea or vomiting or if you have a high-risk pregnancy.

Swedish massage is the most common technique used in prenatal therapy and aims to improve circulation and reduce muscle tension through light, relaxing pressure on the muscles. 

Avoid these types of massage during all stages of pregnancy:

  • Deep-tissue massage
  • Shiatsu
  • Hot stone massage
  • Deep acupressure
  • Percussive tapping techniques
  • Cross-fiber friction
  • Pressure on the abdomen

When can you get a prenatal massage?

You can get a prenatal massage at any time during your pregnancy if you do not have a medical condition that makes it to be unsafe for you or your baby. Still, many doctors do not recommend massage until your second trimester, as the risk of miscarrying is highest during the first trimester. Some facilities will only perform prenatal massage after the first trimester.

What should I wear to a prenatal massage?

What to wear during a prenatal massage is entirely up to you and your personal comfort level. Most therapists recommend wearing your underwear or removing your bra if it is irritating or uncomfortable. The therapist typically uses towels or sheets to cover the body, keep you warm, and expose only the part being massaged.

How do I choose the best prenatal massage therapist near me?

When searching for prenatal massage therapy near you, be sure to:

  • Choose a therapist or company that is licensed, insured, and has been in business for at least 5 years.
  • Check their licensing information. Most states have an online database where you can search for a therapist's license and status.
  • If your state does not have massage therapy licensure laws, look for a therapist who has at least 500 hours of training from a reputable massage therapy program.
  • Look for members of professional organizations like the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) or the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP).
  • Check out their reviews on Thervo and Google.
  • Ask for local references.

What questions should I ask when searching for prenatal massage therapist?

Asking the right questions will help you choose the best prenatal massage therapist near you:

  • Are you licensed and insured?
  • How long have you been a massage therapist?
  • Do you have specific prenatal massage training?
  • How long have you been doing prenatal massage?
  • Do you require a health questionnaire?
  • How often can I get a massage during my pregnancy?
  • Do you offer a discount if I purchase multiple sessions at once?

He was very respectful and knowledgeable about my problem areas and made sure to address my concerns. He was timely and very professional, and even gave me tips on how to alleviate some of the tightness that I get in my right arm when I type for too long.

Grigor is hands down THE BEST! I threw out my back really bad a year and a half ago and happened to find Grigor. He was able to alleviate the pain and I've been seeing him once a month ever since. He is a gifted and talented massage therapist and finds all the knots you never knew you had. I highly recommend booking an appointment your back will say thank you!!

Chris is very professional and this is a true therapeutic massage. He really listened to me and addressed my many areas of concern. He checked in throughout the massage making sure the pressure was okay and that he was focusing on the areas that I needed most. Also, he's just a really nice guy!

Clarence was such a delight! We ordered two 90 minute massages. His equipment and setup was thoughtful and comfortable - soft linens, positioning pillows to keep us comfortable. He even set the scene with a relaxing playlist. He was professional, yet relaxed. He made sure we were comfortable with areas to be massaged, problem areas to focus on, allergies, and intensity of pressure, both before the massage and during. He has gifted hands! He intuitively knew just where I needed help. I practically skipped off the table and around the house for the rest of the evening 😂 We will absolutely book him again. Great find!
