Prenatal Massage FAQ

Is prenatal massage safe during pregnancy?

Yes, prenatal massage is widely considered safe for most pregnancies when performed by a trained therapist. At Oregon Massage & Spa, our therapists have specialized training in prenatal techniques and know which areas to avoid and how to position you safely. We recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before your first session, especially if you have a high-risk pregnancy.

When during pregnancy can I start getting prenatal massage?

Most healthcare providers recommend starting prenatal massage after the first trimester, from the second trimester onward. Many of our Newberg clients continue their sessions throughout the third trimester and find them particularly beneficial as their body adapts to the later stages of pregnancy.

What position will I be in during the massage?

Our therapists use specially designed support cushions and bolsters to position you comfortably on your side. This side-lying position ensures both your comfort and your baby's safety while allowing the therapist full access to your back, hips, legs, and shoulders. Positioning is adjusted throughout the session as needed.

Can prenatal massage help with swelling in my legs and feet?

Yes, prenatal massage can help reduce edema (swelling) by stimulating the soft tissues and encouraging the drainage of excess fluid. Gentle techniques focused on the legs, ankles, and feet can provide significant relief from pregnancy-related swelling, which is especially common in the third trimester.

How often should I schedule prenatal massage sessions?

During the second trimester, many expecting mothers benefit from sessions every two to four weeks. In the third trimester, as discomfort increases, weekly or biweekly sessions can help manage pain and improve sleep. Your therapist will work with you to find a frequency that suits your needs and comfort level.
