Prenatal Massage

Prenatal Massage

 

Prenatal massage is one of the more popular types of massage for obvious reasons. When you are pregnant, you are uncomfortable. It is a fact. You are growing another human inside of you. For this to happen all sorts of things are shifting in your body. Add to that the additional weight pulling your body forward and you have a recipe for back pain. If you have made it through pregnancy without back pain, consider yourself extremely lucky.

This is why prenatal massage is so popular. The relief that a massage can give to an expecting mother is exceptional. Not to mention that dozens of studies have been done to show health benefits to your baby and to you through minimizing stress during your pregnancy.

How often should I get a massage during my pregnancy?

Getting consistent massage throughout your pregnancy has been proven to help reduce the amount of pain and stress on the body. This also prepares your body for the labor and delivery, which studies say helps the duration of your labor.

Weeks 8 – 28 If you are having a normal pregnancy with no major complications you will want to come see us once a month. Of course if you have a lot of pain or muscle tension you can always come in more often. Your therapist will work closely with you to figure out what would be best for your specific needs.

Weeks 29 – 36 Because the baby is growing and adding more pressure on your body you will want to come in every 2 weeks to relieve that added tension.

Weeks 37 – Labor you will want to come in weekly. This will help your body relax and get ready for the labor and delivery of your baby.

During Labor – We have therapists who have been trained on how to best help you relax during your labor. It is up to you to decide at what point you would like us to come and massage you. Ask your therapist for more details.

Postpartum – As long as you didn’t have any complications with your labor and delivery you can come in for a massage as soon as you are released from the hospital. If you have had a C-section or other various complications you will need a doctor’s release before coming in. Our therapists have had extensive training to work on the abdominals and scar tissue from C-section.

Allie was phenomenal! She pointed out certain areas that were extra tense and gave me tips/stretches to help ease the pain in those areas. It felt very natural to chat with her. No weird obligations or upsells that one might expect from other places. I was going to make this a one-off experience because it was a gift from a family member but now I want to go back! 10/10 I feel like pudding.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear that Allie made such a positive impression. Taking the time to understand each client's needs, provide personalized care, and offer stretches to help between visits is something we're passionate about. We also love hearing that you felt comfortable and never pressured during your visit. Knowing your gift turned into an experience that has you wanting to come back is the biggest compliment we could receive—and we're so happy you're feeling like "pudding!" We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Our first time getting a couples massage today at Calming Touch and we really enjoyed it. Amanda and Allie were great to work with. My husband has back and neck pain and Amanda gently worked on him. Allie noticed some stiffness in my neck I didn’t realize and was able to stretch it out more. Really appreciated the genuine care they took with us. The office and room was very peaceful and welcoming. We’re new to the area and glad to have found a place for our massages. We will for sure be making future appointments here.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're honored you chose Calming Touch Massage for your first couples massage and are thrilled to hear you both had such a positive experience. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Amanda and Allie. Providing personalized care in a peaceful, welcoming environment is exactly what we strive for, and we're so happy you felt well cared for. Welcome to the area! We truly appreciate you choosing our small business, and we look forward to seeing you both for many more relaxing massages in the future.

I had my first massage ever with Candy, and she was absolutely amazing! I was a little nervous going in since I didn’t know what to expect, but she made me feel comfortable and relaxed from the moment I arrived. She was very kind, professional, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire session. You can tell she truly cares about her clients and wants them to have a great experience. I left feeling refreshed and already looking forward to my next appointment. I highly recommend Candy, especially if it’s your first massage!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We know trying your first massage can feel a little intimidating, so it means a lot to hear that Candy helped you feel comfortable and at ease from the moment you arrived. Creating a welcoming, relaxing experience is something we strive for with every client, and we're delighted that Candy made such a positive impression. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to seeing you again for your next appointment!

Woke with debilitating pain due to ongoing poor posture with no relief after two chiropractic adjustments. Saw Calming Touch same-day for 50 minute therapeutic massage. and the next day had little to no pain that I have not been able to manage myself with the advice provided by their team. I was even able to walk SLC's pride parade within 24 hours! The masseuse Cliff was very knowledgeable and considerate of the main pain points while also doing everything needed to ensure the stiffness and pain- would not spread. Now we're into the work week with no issues and the pain I felt has nearly dissipated! Real life angels!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It means a lot to hear that Clif was able to help you find relief when you were dealing with such significant discomfort. We take pride in listening to our clients' concerns, addressing problem areas, and providing education that supports their wellness beyond the massage session. Hearing that you were able to enjoy the weekend and return to your normal activities feeling so much better is wonderful. Thank you for trusting Calming Touch Massage, and we look forward to helping you continue feeling your best!
