Is it safe to have a massage while pregnant?

Women can enjoy massage therapy at any stage of pregnancy – during the first, second, or third trimester. Some massage centers may avoid treatments in the first trimester due to the increased risk for miscarriage during the first 12 weeks.

Pregnancy massage refers to any hands-on massage provided during or after pregnancy, whether prenatal or postnatal. Sessions typically last about an hour and are most effective when clients are properly supported with specialized equipment. Many therapists rely on a pregnancy massage table or a maternity massage pillow to ensure comfort and safety throughout the session. A maternity massage table is an excellent feature for any treatment clinic.

Our curated selection of prenatal massage products includes high-quality cushions, bolsters, and face cradle accessories that help therapists provide a safe, relaxing experience for expectant mothers. These tools are designed to enhance positioning, reduce strain, and support optimal alignment for both clients and practitioners.
