For You & Baby
Benefits of Prenatal Massage
Back Pain Relief
Pregnancy shifts your center of gravity, placing extra strain on the lower back. Prenatal massage uses safe, specialized positioning to relieve lumbar tension and reduce discomfort throughout each trimester.
Reduced Swelling
Gentle, rhythmic strokes improve lymphatic drainage and blood circulation, helping to reduce the fluid retention and swelling in the legs, ankles, and feet that many expectant mothers experience.
Better Sleep
By calming the nervous system and releasing tension, prenatal massage helps improve sleep quality — a common challenge during pregnancy. Many clients report falling asleep more easily after their session.
Emotional Wellness
Pregnancy brings emotional ups and downs. Massage therapy naturally boosts serotonin and dopamine levels while reducing stress hormones, supporting a more balanced emotional state throughout your journey.

Prenatal Massage FAQs
When is it safe to get a prenatal massage?
Most healthcare providers recommend prenatal massage starting in the second trimester (after 12 weeks). At Crystal Spa, our therapists are trained in prenatal techniques and will ask about your stage of pregnancy and any complications. Always consult your OB-GYN before scheduling if you have a high-risk pregnancy.
What position will I be in during the massage?
Our prenatal massage sessions use side-lying positioning with supportive pillows and bolsters to keep you and your baby safe and comfortable. This position allows your therapist to effectively address the back, hips, and legs without putting pressure on the abdomen.
Can I use my HSA or FSA to pay for prenatal massage?
Yes! Crystal Spa accepts HSA and FSA payments for eligible massage therapy services. Prenatal massage is often considered a qualifying medical expense when recommended by your healthcare provider. We can provide documentation to support your claim.
How often should I get a prenatal massage?
During the second trimester, bi-weekly sessions work well for most expectant mothers. In the third trimester, weekly sessions can help manage increased discomfort as the body prepares for delivery. Your therapist will recommend a schedule based on your specific needs and how you are feeling.
