Prenatal Massage in Burnaby from Expert Registered Massage Therapist

Prenatal massage is a specialized therapy performed by Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) specifically trained to care for pregnant women. It uses modified techniques, proper positioning, and customized pressure to safely address pregnancy discomforts like back pain and swelling. RMTs understand the anatomical changes of pregnancy and provide therapeutic relief while ensuring both maternal and fetal safety through all stages of pregnancy.

Specialized Training of RMTs for Prenatal Care

Our Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) offering prenatal services completes advanced education beyond standard certification. Unlike regular massage sessions, prenatal treatments require modified positioning techniques to accommodate your growing belly and protect vital blood vessels. Our RMT uses specialized pregnancy pillows and cushioning systems designed specifically to support your body safely and comfortably in side-lying positions. Our RMT applies gentler pressure in certain areas and completely avoids specific pressure points that could affect uterine activity. Treatment focus shifts to address pregnancy-specific concerns like round ligament pain and postural changes.

Benefits of RMT Prenatal Massage

Regular sessions can significantly reduce pregnancy-related lower back pain, sciatica, and hip discomfort through targeted muscle release techniques. Our RMT addresses hormone-related edema (swelling) in hands, feet, and ankles through gentle lymphatic drainage techniques that improve circulation and fluid movement. Studies show prenatal massage can reduce stress hormones while increasing mood-enhancing hormones like serotonin and dopamine, helping alleviate anxiety and depression that may accompany pregnancy. Many clients also report improved sleep quality and reduced insomnia after prenatal massage treatments.
