Benefits of a Prenatal massage for Expecting Mothers
- Lower-Back & Hip Relief – Targeted gliding strokes may calm the muscles that support a growing belly.
- Reduced Swelling – Gentle lymphatic techniques may encourage circulation in legs, ankles, and feet.
- Improved Sleep Quality – Soothing massage may lower cortisol and signals the body to rest, helping moms drift off faster.
- Sciatic Nerve Ease – Careful pressure around the glutes and piriformis may lessen shooting leg discomfort.
- Stress & Anxiety Reduction – Nurturing touch may boost serotonin and dopamine for a brighter mood.
- Postural Support – Shoulder and neck work may correct the forward-rolling posture common as breasts and bump grow.
Common Conditions A Prenatal Massage May Address
Below are the aches, pains, and functional complaints that typically respond well to a professionally performed prenatal massage:
- Low-back and sacroiliac pain – caused by a forward-tilting pelvis, ligament laxity, and a growing belly
- Sciatica or gluteal nerve irritation – shooting or burning discomfort down the back of the hip and leg
- Pelvic-girdle pain & pubic symphysis discomfort – pressure or sharp twinges at the front or sides of the pelvis
- Hip tightness and loss of range-of-motion – the body’s natural stance changes can leave deep rotators and abductors in spasm
- Round-ligament pulls – brief, stabbing pains low in the abdomen as ligaments stretch
- Rib-cage and mid-back tension – breasts enlarge, the diaphragm lifts, and intercostal muscles fatigue
- Neck, shoulder, and “tech-neck” strain – posture shifts plus extra pillow stacking at night invite trigger points
- Leg cramps and restless legs – often striking at night when circulatory demand is high
- Foot, ankle, and hand swelling (edema) – massage encourages lymph flow and venous return
- Carpal-tunnel–type numbness or tingling – fluid retention compresses the median nerve at the wrist
- General sleep difficulty and fatigue – nervous-system down-regulation helps moms fall asleep faster
- Stress, anxiety, and mood swings – calm-pressure touch boosts serotonin and lowers cortisol
Addressing these conditions safely requires side-lying or semi-reclined positioning, therapist training in prenatal contraindications, and clear communication about pressure, exactly what a focused prenatal massage session at Fellows Massage & Wellness provides.
Testimonials
If massage therapists are the unsung heroes of stress relief, then Bethany is a superhero! Not only am I freed from aches and pains, I also get a tremendous mood boost and a reduction in stress. Bethany and her team of massage therapists are the best in San Antonio!
-Sabine W.
Had my first ever massage session with Tommi, and I couldn’t have chosen better. She’s very attentive and easy to chat with. Also the studio was clean and comfortable. Tommi was able to really go after my upper back and shoulders, nearly eliminating all my soreness from stress and bad desk posture. I’ll definitely be back for more sessions.
-Steve S.
I've been a client of Bethany's for 4 years. As a competitor (bodybuilding) I see her routinely for the sports massage with cupping. Bethany is amazing and definitely understands an athlete's unique needs when it comes to massage therapy and muscle recovery. If you are an athlete of any kind I Highly recommend!!!
