Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it also brings significant physical and emotional changes. As your body adapts, you may experience discomfort, tension, fatigue, or disrupted sleep. Pregnancy massage offers a gentle, nurturing way to support your wellbeing throughout each trimester — helping you feel more comfortable, relaxed, and balanced.
At Qi Flow Wellness, our pregnancy‑safe treatments draw from both remedial massage and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles to support your body’s natural rhythms during this special time.
Why Discomfort Happens During Pregnancy
As your baby grows, your body undergoes rapid changes that can place extra strain on muscles, joints, and meridians. Common contributors include:
Postural changes as your belly expands
Tightness in the lower back, hips, and glutes
Neck and shoulder tension from breast and belly weight
Fluid retention in the legs and feet
Hormonal changes affecting ligaments and mobility
Fatigue and stress from disrupted sleep
These changes are normal — but they can make daily life more challenging.
How Pregnancy Massage Helps
Pregnancy massage uses gentle, supportive techniques to ease tension, improve circulation, and help your body adapt more comfortably.
Benefits may include:
Reduced lower‑back and hip discomfort
Relief from neck and shoulder tightness
Improved sleep and relaxation
Reduced swelling in legs and feet
Better mobility and posture
Calmer nervous system and emotional balance
Every session is tailored to your stage of pregnancy and your comfort level.
Safe Positioning for Every Trimester
Your comfort is our priority. We use:
Supportive side‑lying positioning
Cushions and bolsters for full‑body support
