Pregnancy is a beautiful and transformative time—but it also brings unique physical and emotional challenges. As your body adapts to support new life, discomfort, swelling, and stress can become daily companions. One natural, nurturing way to ease these symptoms is with a prenatal massage.
At Enhanced Glamour in Brighton, CO, we offer expertly tailored massage therapy to support your wellness throughout pregnancy. Whether you’re experiencing muscle tension, sleep issues, or emotional ups and downs, prenatal massage offers both physical relief and emotional comfort—without medication.
What Is Prenatal Massage?
Prenatal massage is a therapeutic bodywork technique designed specifically for pregnant individuals. Using gentle, targeted pressure, this form of massage accommodates the physical changes of pregnancy while supporting the body’s overall well-being. It’s typically performed with supportive pillows or side-lying positions to ensure safety and comfort.
Physical Benefits of Prenatal Massage
- Reduces Muscle and Joint Pain
- Decreases Swelling
- Improves Circulation
- Eases Muscle Tension
The additional weight and postural shifts of pregnancy can strain the back, hips, and joints. Prenatal massage helps relax tense muscles, relieve pressure on joints, and improve mobility.
Many expectant parents experience swelling, especially in the legs and feet. Massage supports lymphatic drainage and blood circulation, helping to reduce fluid retention (edema) and ease that heavy, puffy feeling.
Enhanced blood flow during pregnancy is vital for both maternal and fetal health. Prenatal massage boosts circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients more efficiently throughout the body.
Carrying extra weight often leads to tight muscles, particularly in the lower back and shoulders. Massage loosens these areas and helps improve flexibility, preparing the body for labor and delivery.
Mental & Emotional Benefits
- Reduces Stress and Anxiety
- Promotes Better Sleep
- Offers Emotional Support
Massage is known to lower levels of cortisol, the body’s stress hormone, and increase serotonin and dopamine—improving mood, focus, and overall mental well-being.
Restful sleep can be hard to come by during pregnancy. By calming the nervous system and reducing physical discomfort, prenatal massage encourages deeper, more restorative sleep.
Beyond its physical effects, massage provides nurturing touch—helping you feel more grounded, cared for, and emotionally connected to your changing body.
FAQ: Prenatal Massage at Enhanced Glamour
