Is Massage Therapy Safe For Pregnant Women?

Yes, When Performed By Trained Professionals, Massage Therapy During Pregnancy Can Be Both Safe And Highly Beneficial For Most Expectant Mothers.

At A New You, We Are Committed To Providing Safe, Nurturing Care. Our Experienced Team Is Always Open To Work Collaboratively With Your Healthcare Providers To Ensure Your Prenatal Massage Experience Is Tailored To Your Unique Needs, Helping You And Baby Feel Supported And Cared For During This Special Time.

Understanding The Misconceptions:

Myths About The Risks Of Massage Therapy During Pregnancy Often Stem From Older Medical Theories And The Higher Miscarriage Rates Seen In The First Trimester. These Factors Wrongly Associated Prenatal Massage With Increased Risk, Though No Scientific Evidence Supports This Link. Leading Organizations Like The American Pregnancy Association And The National Institutes Of Health Agree That Prenatal Massage Is A Valuable Tool For Managing Pregnancy Discomforts.

The Benefits:

Prenatal Massage Is Safe To Enjoy Throughout All Trimesters For Most Pregnancies And has Been Shown To Relieve Stress, Reduce Swelling, Alleviate Back Pain, And Promote Overall Well-being.

Consultation Is Key:

As With Any Therapeutic Care During Pregnancy, We Strongly Recommend Consulting With Your Primary Prenatal Care Provider Before Booking A Massage - Especially If You Have Experienced Bleeding, Pre-Term Contractions, Or Have High-Risk Conditions Such As Preeclampsia Or Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension.

Every Session Customized To Address Your Primary Concern Whether It’s Injury Prevention, Post-Game Recovery, Or Maintaining Peak Performance. Discover How Expert Care Can Help You Stay At The Top Of Your Game!

This Is My First Massage. What Can I Expect?

Don’t Worry, We’ve Got You Covered! When You Arrive, We’ll Start With A Quick Consultation To Discuss What You’re Hoping To Get Out Of The Session And Answer Any Questions You Might Have. Then, We’ll Step Out To Give You Time To Undress And Get Comfortable. You’ll Stay Nice And Cozy Under Soft Sheets And A Blanket Throughout The Session, With Only The Area Being Worked On Uncovered.

Do I Need To Shower Before My Appointment?

Showering Before Your Massage Is A Great Way To Relax Your Muscles And Enhance Your Session, But It’s Not Required. If Your Appointment Is Directly After Work Or A Busy Day, There’s No Need To Worry - Feel Free To Come As You Are!

However, If You’re Arriving After A Workout Or Other Intense Physical Activity, We Kindly Request That You Shower Before Your Appointment To Ensure A Clean And Comfortable Environment For Everyone.

Can I Eat Or Drink Before My Appointment?

Yes, But We Recommend Keeping It Light. A Small Snack Or Meal Is Fine, As Being Overly Hungry Or Too Full Can Impact Your Comfort During The Service. Please Avoid Consuming Alcohol Or Caffeine Immediately Before Your Appointment, As They May Affect Your Hydration Levels And How Your Body Responds To Treatment. Staying Hydrated With Water Is Always A Good Idea To Help Enhance The Benefits Of Your Session.

Does Deep Tissue Massage Hurt?

While Some Discomfort Is Expected, Especially When We’re Working On Trigger Points (Those Stubborn, Tight, Knotted Areas), A Massage Should Never Feel Unbearably Painful. We’re Here To Help You Feel Better, After All!

Communication Is Key! We Can Use A Variety Of Techniques To Address Your Muscle Tension, So If An Area Becomes Too Tender, Just Let Us Know, And We’ll Adjust Accordingly. This Might Mean Switching To Hot Stones, Cold Stones, Cupping, Or Other Methods To Achieve The Best Results Without Pushing Past Your Comfort Zone.

After Your Session, You May Feel Some Soreness – Similar To The Feeling Following A Good Workout – For A Day Or Two. This Isn’t Cause For Alarm; It’s Just Your Muscles Releasing Built-Up Tension And Adjusting. We Recommend Staying Hydrated And Doing Some Gentle Stretching To Help Ease Any Lingering Soreness.

Do I Have To Completely Undress For The Session?

The Short Answer Is That You Can Wear – Or Not Wear – Whatever Makes You Comfortable During Your Session. However, There Are A Few Things To Consider.

Being Fully Undressed Allows Your Therapist To Apply Oil Directly To The Skin, Which Enhances Their Ability To Target Specific Areas Of Tension And Work Muscles From Various Angles For Maximum Benefit. This Also Allows For Seamless, Uninterrupted Strokes, Contributing To A More Effective And Relaxing Experience. Key Areas Like The Glutes, Which Are Crucial For Supporting The Lower Back And Legs, Can Be Better Addressed Without Clothing Restrictions, Improving The Overall Therapeutic Outcome.

If You Choose To Leave On Undergarments, Keep In Mind That They Will Likely Come Into Contact With The Oils Used During The Massage, Which Could Stain Certain Fabrics. To Avoid This, We Recommend Wearing Darker Or Older Undergarments If You Prefer To Remain Partially Dressed. Ultimately, We Want You To Feel Relaxed And At Ease, So Wear Whatever Feels Right For You.

Regardless Of Your Decision, You’ll Always Be Properly Draped To Ensure Modesty And Comfort, With Only The Area Being Treated Exposed. Our Goal Is To Provide A Safe, Therapeutic, And Relaxing Experience. If You Have Any Preferences Or Concerns, Please Don’t Hesitate To Discuss Them With Your Therapist Before The Session.

How Will My Provider Decide Which Areas To Focus On And Can We Address Multiple Areas In One Session?

We’ll Begin By Reviewing Your Intake Form And Discussing Your Primary Concerns And Goals For The Session. Together, We’ll Determine Which Areas Require The Most Attention.

Our 60-Minute Targeted Tension Relief Session Is Designed To Focus On One, Possibly Two, Specific Areas, Making It Ideal For Addressing Acute Concerns. This Limited Time Ensures Each Identified Area Receives The Care It Needs But May Not Allow For A Full-Body Approach.

For A More Comprehensive Session That Covers Multiple Areas Or Provides A Full-Body Treatment, We Recommend Our 90-Minute VIP Signature Service, Which Offers Ample Time For A Well-Rounded Experience And Maximized Therapeutic Benefits.

How Much Is It To Add Hot Or Cold Stones Or Other Enhancements?

Absolutely Nothing! Service Enhancements Like Hot Stones, Cold Stones, And CBD Are Included At No Additional Cost With Our 90-Minute Massage Therapy Services.

Unlike Most Businesses That Charge Extra For These Enhancements, We Believe In Providing A Complete, Fully Comprehensive Experience For You Without Any Hidden Fees Or Surprises At Checkout. This Approach Also Allows Our Provider To Use Whichever Modalities They Determine To Be Best For Your Body, Ensuring The Most Effective And Personalized Treatment.

It's Important To Note That Our 60-Minute Session May Not Always Provide Enough Time To Introduce These Enhancements And, Therefore, Cannot Be Guaranteed. To Experience The Difference For Yourself, We Recommend Our Signature VIP Massage.

How Long Will The Benefits Of The Massage Last?

Depending On Your Lifestyle, Activity Level, And Body’s Individual Needs, The Benefits Of A Deep Tissue Massage Can Last From Several Days To Up To Several Weeks.

This Specialized Technique Targets Deeper Layers Of Muscle And Connective Tissue, Making It Highly Effective For Relieving Chronic Tension, Improving Mobility, And Promoting Recovery.

To Extend These Benefits, Stay Well-Hydrated, Incorporate Gentle Stretching Into Your Routine, And Maintain Proper Posture. Commitment To Consistent Sessions Often Lead To Even Longer-Lasting Results And Enhanced Overall Relief.

Is It Normal To Feel Lightheaded Or Tired During Or After A Session?

Yes, It’s Not Unusual To Feel Lightheaded Or Tired During Or After A Massage. This Can Happen For A Few Reasons:

Increased Circulation

Massage Boosts Blood Flow, Which May Cause Temporary Dizziness As Your Body Adjusts.

Stress Release: Letting Go Of Physical And Emotional Tension Can Leave You Feeling Drained.

Dehydration

Massage Helps Release Toxins, And Without Adequate Hydration, You Might Feel Off-Balance Or Nauseous.

Deep Relaxation

The Soothing Effects Of Massage Can Make You Feel Pleasantly Fatigued.

To Feel Your Best, Drink Plenty Of Water Before And After Your Session, Rise Slowly From The Table, And Plan To Give Your Body Time To Rest And Recover.

When Should I Schedule My Next Session For Optimal Results?

The Best Time To Schedule Your Next Session Is Before Leaving Your Current One! How Often You Should Receive A Massage Depends On Your Individual Needs And Wellness Goals. For Optimal Results, Our 90-Minute VIP Signature Massage Is Ideal For Addressing:

Maintenance And Preventative Care

Consistent Care Is Essential For Maintaining Muscle Health, Improving Circulation, And Preventing Tension Buildup. Scheduling A Session Every 4–6 Weeks Can Help Reduce Stress, Improve Flexibility, And Enhance Your Overall Well-Being.

Managing Chronic Pain Or Tension

Chronic Pain Or Deep-Seated Tension Often Requires Focused Care. Bi-Weekly Sessions Help Release Accumulated Stress, Improve Mobility, And Promote Long-Term Healing. Regular Massages May Also Reduce The Frequency And Severity Of Flare-Ups, Enhancing Your Quality Of Life.

Improving Athletic Performance And Recovery

These Sessions Increase Flexibility, Reduce Recovery Time, And Help Prevent Injuries By Targeting High-Impact Muscle Groups. Pre-Event Massages Prepare Your Muscles For Peak Performance, While Post-Event Sessions Reduce Soreness And Accelerate Healing, Keeping You At The Top Of Your Game.

Prenatal Support

As Pregnancy Progresses, The Frequency Of Massage Should Increase To Support Your Body’s Changing Needs:

First & Second Trimesters: Every 4 Weeks
Third Trimester (27–36 Weeks): Every 2 Weeks
Final Weeks (36 Weeks–Birth): Weekly

While These Are General Guidelines, Your Provider Will Offer Personalized Recommendations Based On Your Progress And Goals. To Stay On Track With Your Wellness Plan, We Encourage Booking Several Weeks In Advance To Secure Your Preferred Time, Especially During Busy Seasons.
