Prenatal Massage
Congratulations! You are pregnant, actually growing a baby in your belly. It is truly a miracle… but it’s also hard work on your body. Carrying a baby changes your center of gravity. It puts stress on your back, neck, abdominal muscles and shoulders. While pregnant your ligaments also relax which destabilizes your pelvic joints and changes your posture, pulling your pelvis forward. Add weight gain to that and you may experience aching pain in your low back.
Does this mean you have to be uncomfortable for 9 months? No, pregnancy or prenatal massage can help. It is similar to regular massage in that it aims to relax tense muscles, ease sore spots, and improve circulation and mobility. However, prenatal massage is a nurturing massage that focuses on pregnant women and the changing needs of their bodies. Both mom and baby can benefit from a good massage.

Is Prenatal Massage Safe?
First and foremost, safe prenatal or maternity massage should only be performed by a trained prenatal massage therapist. They will know about special requirements and positioning that is needed. Our team of licensed massage therapists have all had extensive training in prenatal and postpartum massage.
Another common belief is that you can’t lie on their stomach for a massage, which is true for a flat massage table. Many spas or massage clinics throughout Utah only offer side posture pregnancy massage. While this is an okay, it makes it difficult to access areas that need special attention during pregnancy. Specialized prenatal massage pillows used at Maternal Massage provide all the support and padding needed to allow you to lie face down while enjoying your massage while pregnant.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is prenatal massage?
Why is Maternal Massage better than than other clinics in Salt Lake City?
Most importantly, each of our therapists has had extensive training in prenatal massage and each massage is tailored to the client. We don’t treat you as if you are fragile and can do a deeper pressure if that is your preference. We also have specialized orthopedic body support cushions that adjust to accommodate your growing tummy and breasts throughout your pregnancy. At Maternal Massage, we have the knowledge and the experience to provide the best care for you throughout each stage of pregnancy.
We were also voted best Massage in Utah in the KSL Voter’s Choice Awards!

Is prenatal massage dangerous?
How often should I get a maternity massage?

How soon after childbirth can I get a postpartum massage? How often should I?
It is easy to forget about taking care of yourself after giving birth. But we promise that postpartum greatly improves your mental, physical and emotional health. We liken a postpartum massage to a sports massage after running a marathon. You crossed the finish line and you were running on adrenaline and willpower for the last little bit. Your body needs help healing… and we got you covered! You can begin treatment after 5 days (we recommend within the first 10) and then you and your therapist can come up with a regular schedule. The goal is to get to 6 weeks of feeling great within a 6 month window. Some may do this faster and others take longer.
There are certain methods and areas we will focus on to help your body recover. It will also help with stress and anxiety. The good endorphins released during a massage can help you feel more rested and calm, letting you enjoy the time with your newborn even more.
BONUS: you can bring your baby with you and we aren’t afraid of leaking. Ask us about childcare services.
What is Labor Stimulation Massage?
Do you ONLY work on pregnant women at Maternal Massage?
Do you accept insurance?
At this time we do not bill insurance, however, if your plan uses a health savings account (HSA) or flex spending account, you can use those to pay for the massage. While we don’t require a note of medical necessity, your insurance company may want one from your physician.
