Specialized Positioning

Pregnancy massage in Las Palmas uses side-lying positions with supportive cushions to ensure both mother and baby’s comfort and safety. Janka avoids techniques or pressure that could be harmful during pregnancy, focuses on pregnancy-related discomfort areas like lower back and hips, and understands which areas and techniques to avoid at different stages of pregnancy.

What Makes Pregnancy Massage Different

Unlike regular massage performed on pregnant women, pregnancy massage in Las Palmas is specifically adapted to your body’s dramatic changes. Janka’s specialized training ensures proper positioning, appropriate pressure, and complete safety for you and your developing baby. Each technique is chosen specifically for pregnancy, addressing unique prenatal discomfort patterns while protecting your growing baby.

Therapeutic Benefits

Pregnancy massage isn’t a luxury – it’s therapeutic support for your changing body.

Regular sessions throughout your second and third trimesters provide ongoing relief and preparation for birth.

The Benefits of Pregnancy Massage

Physical Relief During Pregnancy

Ease Back and Hip Pain

As your baby grows and your center of gravity shifts, lower back pain becomes one of the most common pregnancy complaints. The extra weight, combined with loosening ligaments due to the hormone relaxin, creates significant strain. Pregnancy massage in Las Palmas addresses this through gentle techniques that release tension in the lower back, hips, and sciatic nerve area, providing much-needed relief without any risk to your baby.

Edema (swelling) in the extremities is extremely common during pregnancy as your body retains more fluid and circulation changes to support your growing baby. Gentle massage techniques stimulate circulation and lymphatic drainage, helping reduce uncomfortable swelling in your hands, feet, and ankles. Many expectant mothers notice significant reduction in puffiness after their sessions.

Your body is working hard to grow and support a new life. This creates tension throughout your muscles, particularly in areas that compensate for your changing posture – shoulders, neck, upper back, and hips. Pregnancy massage uses safe, gentle techniques to release this accumulated tension, helping your body feel more comfortable and supported.

Sleep becomes increasingly difficult as pregnancy progresses – finding comfortable positions, dealing with discomfort, hormonal changes, and frequent bathroom trips all disrupt rest. The relaxation and pain relief provided by pregnancy massage naturally promotes better sleep, helping you get the rest you desperately need during this demanding time.

Pregnancy brings joy but also significant stress – physical changes, hormonal fluctuations, concerns about labor, impending lifestyle changes. Pregnancy massage in Las Palmas provides a rare opportunity to pause, breathe, and let go of accumulated stress. The therapeutic touch triggers your body’s relaxation response, significantly reducing stress hormones like cortisol while promoting feel-good hormones like serotonin and dopamine.

The hormonal changes of pregnancy can create emotional ups and downs that feel overwhelming. Regular massage therapy helps stabilize your mood and provides emotional support through this transformative time. Many expectant mothers describe their pregnancy massage sessions as essential self-care that helps them feel more balanced and prepared for motherhood.

Pregnancy massage offers quiet, focused time to connect with your baby. As you relax and your body releases tension, you create space to be present with your pregnancy, feel your baby’s movements, and strengthen the emotional bond that’s already forming.

Your Pregnancy Massage Session: What to Expect

Before Your Appointment

When you book pregnancy massage in Las Palmas at Las Palmas Massages, Janka will discuss important information about your pregnancy including how far along you are, any complications or concerns, areas of discomfort, and your medical provider’s guidance regarding massage. This conversation ensures your session is safe, comfortable, and addresses your specific needs. If you’re in your first trimester or have any high-risk factors, Janka may request clearance from your healthcare provider to ensure complete safety for you and your baby.

You’ll be positioned comfortably on your side with supportive pillows and cushions – never flat on your back or stomach. Janka uses gentle, adapted techniques specifically designed for pregnancy, avoiding certain pressure points and using lighter pressure than standard massage. The session focuses on areas where pregnancy discomfort occurs most: lower back and hips, shoulders and neck, legs and feet, and arms if needed. Your comfort is the absolute priority, and Janka continuously checks in to ensure the positioning feels good, the pressure is appropriate, and you’re completely comfortable throughout.

Following your pregnancy massage in Las Palmas, most expectant mothers feel deeply relaxed, with reduced pain and tension, lighter feeling from less swelling, improved emotional wellbeing, and increased energy. Over the following days, you’ll likely experience continued pain relief, better sleep, improved mood, less swelling, and more comfortable movement. Janka will provide recommendations for safe stretches, how frequently to return based on your trimester and needs, and self-care practices to support your changing body between sessions.

People Also Asked

Most massage therapists, including Janka, prefer to work with expectant mothers starting in the second trimester (after week 12-13) when the risk of miscarriage decreases significantly. However, if you have your healthcare provider’s approval and no complications, massage can sometimes be performed in the first trimester. The second and third trimesters are ideal times for regular pregnancy massage to address the growing discomforts and support your changing body.

Yes, when performed by a properly trained prenatal massage therapist like Janka, pregnancy massage is completely safe for your baby. The techniques used are gentle and specifically adapted for pregnancy, positioning ensures both your comfort and baby’s safety, and all pressure points or techniques that could potentially stimulate contractions are avoided. Research shows that prenatal massage provides benefits for both mother and baby with no adverse effects when performed by qualified therapists.

You’ll be positioned on your side (side-lying) with supportive pillows and cushions between your knees, under your belly, behind your back, and under your head. This position is completely safe, comfortable for both you and baby, allows access to all areas needing attention, and follows recommended guidelines for prenatal massage. You’ll never be flat on your back (which can compress major blood vessels) or on your stomach.

If you have pregnancy complications such as high-risk pregnancy, preeclampsia, severe swelling, vaginal bleeding, or other concerns, you’ll need clearance from your healthcare provider before receiving massage. Always inform Janka of any complications when booking so she can determine if massage is appropriate or if modifications are needed. Some conditions are contraindications for pregnancy massage, while others simply require adjusted techniques or timing.

For general wellness and comfort, most expectant mothers benefit from pregnancy massage every 2-4 weeks throughout the second and third trimesters. If you’re experiencing significant discomfort like severe back pain or sciatica, weekly sessions may be more beneficial. In the final weeks before your due date, more frequent sessions (weekly or even twice weekly) can help keep you comfortable and prepare your body for labor. Janka can recommend a personalized schedule based on your needs.

Yes, pregnancy massage is very effective for reducing swelling (edema) in the hands, feet, and ankles. The gentle massage techniques stimulate circulation and lymphatic drainage, helping your body eliminate excess fluid that causes swelling. Many expectant mothers notice significant reduction in puffiness immediately after their session. Regular massage throughout pregnancy helps manage ongoing swelling, though you should always report severe or sudden swelling to your healthcare provider as it can indicate complications.

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that’s easy to remove. You’ll undress to your comfort level – most expectant mothers choose to undress completely or keep underwear on, and you’ll be properly draped with sheets throughout the session. Only the area being massaged is exposed, ensuring your modesty and comfort. Some pregnant women prefer to keep a comfortable bra on, which is absolutely fine. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and relaxed.
