Pregnancy massage: a wellness session adapted to you
A prenatal massage is a wellness service designed for comfort and relaxation during pregnancy. It does not replace the care provided by the midwife, doctor, or maternity team, and cannot evaluate a medical situation.
What prenatal massage involves
The session prioritizes gentle strokes, adapted pressure, and comfortable positioning, often on the side with pillows. It is different from a traditional Thai massage and is more similar to an oil massage.
Before any reservation, it's important to mention pregnancy, its stage, and any useful information for the team. The practitioner then adapts the session within their professional scope and the establishment's policy.

A prenatal massage should be offered by a trained practitioner, in a clean and suitable environment, with a prior exchange on comfort, position, and pressure preferences. The pregnant woman should be able to signal any discomfort and interrupt the session at any moment.
