Prenatal Massage FAQ

Prenatal Massage West Loop, Chicago, IL

Have questions about prenatal massage Chicago or pregnancy massage Chicago? You’re not alone. Here’s what many clients ask:

❓ Is foot massage safe during pregnancy?

🅰️ Yes, it’s safe. Actually, your feet need it more than ever during pregnancy. Swelling and joint pain increase. But we avoid pressure points that may cause contractions. So, when done by trained therapists, pregnancy massage Chicago for feet is perfectly safe and relaxing.

❓ Do you use essential oils in prenatal massage?

🅰️ Usually not. While some oils are safe, we prefer to keep things simple. Many clients already face chemical exposure daily. So, for safety, we skip essential oils during prenatal massage Chicago. Near labor, though, we may use very small, supportive amounts if needed.

❓ Does prenatal massage help the baby too?

🅰️ Yes! When you feel relaxed, so does your baby. Massage releases endorphins—your body’s “feel-good” hormones. These hormones reach your baby through the placenta. As a result, pregnancy massage Chicago benefits both of you at once.

❓ Can I get a massage close to my due date?

🅰️ Definitely. Most women can enjoy prenatal massage Chicago right up to their due date. In fact, many schedule a session to relax before labor begins. If you’re on bed rest or have special needs, we’ll adjust the session. Just consult your doctor first.

❓ How often should I get prenatal massage?

🅰️ It depends on your body and needs. Early in pregnancy, once a month is usually enough. As you grow, try twice a month. During the final trimester, we often recommend weekly pregnancy massage Chicago sessions. This helps manage pain and improves sleep.

❓ Can I lie face down during a prenatal massage?

🅰️ Yes, with our custom cushions. You won’t lie flat—your belly stays protected. Instead, your body rests safely on your chest and hips. This setup supports you without stress. As your pregnancy continues, the position adjusts naturally. So, your prenatal massage Chicago remains safe and comfortable throughout.

❓ Who performs pregnancy massage at your spa?

🅰️ All pregnancy massage Chicago sessions are done by certified prenatal therapists. They understand how to treat common issues safely—like back pain, hip aches, and swelling. So, you’re always in skilled and caring hands.
