PRENATAL MASSAGE: BECAUSE GROWING A HUMAN IS HARD WORK
Pregnancy is amazing. You’re literally building a person. It’s also the reason your back hurts, your hips feel like they’re 87 years old, and tying your shoes now feels like an Olympic sport.
Enter: prenatal massage—aka someone finally taking care of YOU.
Here’s how it helps at every stage of pregnancy!
First Trimester: I’m Not Crying, You’re Crying
You’re exhausted. Nauseous. Emotional. Hungry. Not hungry. Crying over commercials. Totally normal.
Prenatal massage helps by:
Calming your nervous system (bye stress)
Easing headaches and tension
Helping you sleep when your body is confused about everything
Giving you 60 minutes where no one needs anything from you
Basically: survival support.
Second Trimester: The “I Feel Cute But My Back Hurts” Phase
You’ve got a bump! Energy! And suddenly… hip pain? Cool, cool, cool.
Prenatal massage helps by:
Relieving low back and hip pain
Reducing leg cramps and swelling
Helping your body adjust as your belly steals the spotlight
Letting you enjoy feeling pregnant without the ow part
This is peak massage season, mama. Don’t miss it.
Third Trimester: Everything Hurts & I’m Dying Phase
Your belly is big. Your feet are swollen. Sleeping is a competitive sport, and you are losing.
Prenatal massage helps by:
Reducing swelling in hands, feet, and ankles
Easing sciatic pain and pelvic tension
Helping you relax when bending over is no longer an option
Preparing your body (and brain) for birth
Also, a great place to nap. We won’t tell.
The Bottom Line
Prenatal massage isn’t “extra.” It’s essential care for a body doing extraordinary things!
So book the massage with us at PFP. Remember Mama, you got this, and we are here to help!
