Pregnancy massage: gentle support during pregnancy
Pregnancy massage is tailored to the physical needs of expectant mothers. It uses adapted positioning and gentler techniques, and can help with back, shoulder and leg discomfort that is common during pregnancy.
What makes pregnancy massage different
Positioning and pressure are adjusted throughout. The expectant mother usually lies on her side or is supported with special cushions. Certain areas such as the abdomen and some pressure points are avoided. A good therapist always asks about the trimester and any existing symptoms before starting.
- Side position or cushioned support — no lying face down
- Gentler techniques than in regular massage
- Ask whether the therapist has specific experience with pregnancy massage
When and how often?
Many therapists recommend caution in the first trimester. From the second trimester onwards, pregnancy massage is generally well tolerated. In the third trimester it can be especially helpful for back, hip and leg discomfort. When in doubt, check with your doctor first.
- 1st trimester: be cautious — check with your doctor
- 2nd trimester: generally suitable for regular relaxation
- 3rd trimester: especially helpful for back, hip and leg complaints
Is pregnancy massage safe?
With an experienced therapist and no complications, it is generally considered safe. For high-risk pregnancies, high blood pressure or other concerns, always check with your doctor first.
Can I book pregnancy massage as a gift?
Yes — it is a thoughtful and popular gift. When booking, include the trimester and any relevant details so the studio can prepare properly.

Frequently asked questions
A pregnancy massage is a type of massage specifically tailored to the needs of pregnant women. It is performed with gentle, adapted strokes and takes into account the changed posture and special positioning required during pregnancy. Many studios use special support cushions for the belly.
Many studios offer pregnancy massages from the second trimester onwards. As a precaution, check with your midwife or doctor before your first pregnancy massage, especially if you have any health concerns. The exact conditions vary from studio to studio — ask directly when booking and let them know which month of pregnancy you are in.
Positioning is an important part of the pregnancy massage. Treatment is often performed in a side-lying position, supported by cushions. Some studios use specially designed massage tables with cutouts. The exact approach is best discussed with your therapist at the start of the session.
Typical sessions last 45 to 60 minutes. Since special care is required with both positioning and strokes, shorter sessions are common. Some studios also offer 75- or 90-minute sessions.
Let your therapist know at the start which month of pregnancy you are in, how you are currently feeling, and which areas you would like them to focus on. Any particular sensitivities or areas to be avoided can also be discussed beforehand.
