In depth

What is Pregnancy Massage?

Pregnancy massage (also called prenatal massage) is a manual therapy specifically adapted for the physiological changes of pregnancy: relaxin-loosened ligaments, an expanding uterus that displaces internal organs, increased blood volume, and a shifting centre of gravity. The technique uses side-lying positions with full body support — never face-down, never face-up after week 20 — and avoids specific reflex points (sacral, ankle, deep abdominal) that can affect the uterus. The 2010 Tiffany Field randomised study (Touch Research Institute, Miami) showed pregnant women receiving regular prenatal massage had lower depression scores, lower cortisol, less back pain, and shorter labour times than the control group. The technique is safe in the second and third trimesters with normal pregnancy progression — first trimester or high-risk pregnancies require obstetrician clearance first.

“So happy I found Janka! She massaged some really important spots on my body that has never been touched before (but needed) She's fantastic, I was melting, and she gave me tips and taught me self massages to take home that have been a game changer already! Highly recommend! She makes you feel comfortable and is a joy to talk to!”

“Amazing massage, Janka knows her trade very well, and was very attentive, she gave me a massage personalized to me. Meaning she found the areas where I was tense and worked on them, gave tips on where on my body I have some ongoing issues, and suggestions of how to solve them. Never had such a personalized massage experience before.”

“Honestly the best I have ever had. I am very picky with the pressuring, and I have to say that Janka felt my body so well that I didn't have to say or correct anything about her practice. And I have tried a looot of massages around the world! She is very skilled and knowledgeable, and I would follow her advice undoubtedly. I look forward to coming back and meeting her again! Thank you so very much Janka 🙏🏼”

“Just had a few days to relax in Las Palmas and I wanted to find a therapist to avoid skipping a week of my regular sessions back home. I found Janka online. Janka is very easy going and very professional and she listened carefully and adapt to want I thought I needed. At the same time she managed to try a few things on her own, very successfully I may add. Even though I am very used to my own therapist I will book more sessions with her next time for sure. Very recommended.”

“Fantastic, Professional and great skills. Came with few shoulder and back pain issues, Janka managed to locate the issue, relieved the pain and felt so much better. Janka clearly knows what to do and even gave me some practical tips and exercises thereafter. Came back next week and equally great. Highly recommend!”

Method

How a pregnancy massage session works

01 Step 01

Listen first

Every pregnancy massage starts with a real conversation, not a checklist. Janka asks about your goal for today, your pressure preference, sensitive areas, recent injuries, and what's worked (or not) in past sessions. The 5-minute consultation is free — never deducted from your treatment hour — and shapes every choice she makes once you're on the table.

  • Free 5-minute intake — not deducted from your hour
  • Private studio in Guanarteme, never a shared spa floor
  • Disposable underwear, fresh linens and robe provided
5 min pre-session
Pregnancy Massage in Las Palmas — step 01
02 Step 02

Work with intention

Gentle techniques target the lower back and hips where pregnancy places the most strain, providing meaningful relief. Pressure is adjusted in real time — Janka checks in at the 5-, 20-, and 40-minute marks so the session lands exactly where you need it. No music templates, no rushed transitions, no upsell midway through.

  • Adjustable pressure — light, medium, or deeper sustained work
  • Hypoallergenic oils, warm towels, soft ambient soundscape
  • Speak up any time — change pressure, position, or temperature
60 / 90 / 120 min of treatment

03 Step 03

Leave with guidance

You leave with two or three simple practices that fit your body — usually a stretch, a self-massage cue, and a sleep or breathing tip. Most clients feel the benefit on the same day; the goal is that the ease you feel walking out the door stays with you through the week. Janka follows up by WhatsApp 48 hours later to check how you slept and whether anything tightened back up.

  • Personalised stretches and self-massage cues for your body
  • WhatsApp check-in 48 hours later — how you feel, what shifted
  • Easy rebook — same therapist, same studio, same chair
5–10 min closing + 48 h follow-up

04 Safety first

When pregnancy massage is not the right call

Pregnancy massage is not safe during the first trimester without obstetrician clearance. Always avoid the session if you have: pre-eclampsia or unmanaged hypertension; placenta previa or placenta abruption; deep vein thrombosis or any clotting disorder; recent vaginal bleeding; severe anaemia; gestational diabetes that is poorly controlled; multiple pregnancy (twins+) without specialist clearance; or active fever, infection, or skin condition. Always inform Janka at booking about due date, any complications, your obstetrician's name, and any medication you are taking.

05 After the session

What to do in the next 24 hours

After a prenatal session, you may feel pleasantly tired and notice less back pain and reduced ankle/foot swelling. Drink an extra litre of water that day. Walk gently for 10–15 minutes if comfortable; the movement helps the lymphatic flush continue. Avoid hot baths (use warm water only) for 24 hours. Most clients report deeper sleep that first night and lower-back relief lasting 3–5 days. With biweekly sessions through the second and third trimesters, the cumulative effect is significant — particularly in the final 6 weeks, where consistent prenatal massage is associated with shorter labour and easier postpartum recovery (Field 2010).

Comparison

Pregnancy massage vs regular massage during pregnancy

Many therapists will say "yes I can do pregnancy massage" without specific training. The real differences matter for safety.

Frequently asked

Pregnancy Massage · FAQ

Everything most clients ask before booking a pregnancy massage in Las Palmas.

When can I start getting pregnancy massage?

Most massage therapists, including Janka, prefer to work with expectant mothers starting in the second trimester (after week 12-13) when risk is lower.If you have medical approval and no complications, treatment may be possible earlier. The second and third trimesters are usually the best time for regular sessions.

Is pregnancy massage safe for my baby?

Yes, when performed by a trained prenatal therapist, pregnancy massage is considered safe. Techniques are adapted for pregnancy, with safe positioning and pressure.Janka avoids contraindicated pressure points and always prioritizes comfort and safety for both mother and baby.

What position will I be in during the massage?

Youll be positioned on your side with supportive pillows and cushions for comfort and safety. You are never placed flat on your stomach or for long periods flat on your back.

Can I get pregnancy massage if I have complications?

If you have high-risk factors or complications, medical clearance is recommended before treatment. Always share your health status when booking so the session can be adapted safely.

How often should I get pregnancy massage?

For general comfort, many expectant mothers benefit from massage every 2-4 weeks. If discomfort is stronger, weekly sessions can be helpful.Frequency is best adjusted based on trimester, symptoms, and your healthcare guidance.

Will pregnancy massage help with swelling?

Yes. Gentle prenatal massage supports circulation and lymphatic flow, which can reduce swelling in feet, ankles, and hands.Severe or sudden swelling should always be reviewed by your healthcare provider.

What should I wear to my pregnancy massage appointment?

Wear loose, comfortable clothing. You undress only to your comfort level and are properly draped during treatment, with only the area being worked on uncovered.
