**Getting Started**

When beginning services with Saskatoon RMT, we’ll gather a complete medical history, including any relevant health information outside of pregnancy. Our therapist will carefully review this to ensure they fully understand your needs, promoting both safety and effectiveness in treatment. Together, you’ll discuss your goals for prenatal massage therapy and any specific areas of concern.

Massage therapy is safe to begin at any stage of pregnancy, though please share any specific health considerations to help us tailor your care.

Your comfort is our priority. We use pregnancy pillows, cushions, and supportive wedges to ensure a relaxing experience. Depending on the stage of your pregnancy, treatments may be done in a semi-reclined or side-lying position to prioritize both comfort and safety.

**What to Expect**

Pregnant clients often experience tight, swollen leg muscles that can irritate the sciatic nerves, leading to discomfort. Gentle massage in these areas improves blood flow, easing tension and helping to relieve swelling. This treatment can also promote lower cortisol and higher serotonin and dopamine levels, which supports a positive mood and overall wellness.

Additional benefits include improved posture and adaptability to the body’s natural changes during pregnancy. Muscles can maintain flexibility, while skin and underlying tissues gain elasticity, supporting comfort throughout the experience.
