Prenatal + Postpartum Registered Massage Therapy
Our prenatal and postpartum registered massage therapy (RMT) services are designed to support your body through the physical changes of pregnancy and postpartum recovery. During pregnancy, massage therapy can help relieve common discomforts such as back pain, hip tension, and swelling while promoting relaxation and overall well-being. Our registered massage therapists use gentle, targeted techniques that are safe for each stage of pregnancy, helping to ease muscle strain, improve circulation, and support your body as it adapts to carrying your baby.
Postpartum, massage therapy can play a vital role in recovery by reducing muscle tension, supporting healing from birth, and promoting relaxation during this demanding time. Whether you're experiencing tension from feeding and carrying your baby, recovering from a C-section, or simply in need of restorative care, our RMTs provide individualized treatments that prioritize your comfort and well-being. With a deep understanding of perinatal care, our massage therapists create a supportive and healing experience to help you feel your best.
We have pregnancy treatment pillows so you can lie face down if you’re comfortable in that position.

During pregnancy, our athletic therapist will provide targeted exercises and hands-on techniques to address changes in posture, balance, and muscle function while helping to prevent discomfort and injury.
