Prenatal Massage in Makati 2026 — Safe Pregnancy Wellness Guide

Prenatal massage can significantly reduce pregnancy discomfort — lower back pain, hip pain, swelling, and sleep disruption. But it must be performed by a therapist trained in prenatal technique. Here's the complete safe guide for Makati.

Prenatal massage can significantly reduce the physical discomforts of pregnancy — lower back pain, hip pain, leg swelling, and sleep disruption. However, it must be performed by a therapist specifically trained in prenatal technique.

The physical changes of pregnancy relevant to massage therapy: the expanding uterus shifts the center of gravity forward, increasing lumbar lordosis and the mechanical demand on lumbar and sacral musculature. Relaxin increases ligament laxity system-wide, increasing joint mobility while reducing passive stability. This combination produces the characteristic lower back and sacroiliac pain of pregnancy.

Massage technique modifications in pregnancy: supine positioning — lying flat on the back — is contraindicated from the second trimester onward because the weight of the uterus compresses the inferior vena cava, reducing venous return and maternal blood pressure. Side-lying positioning with appropriate bolstering is the standard safe approach.

Specific pressure restrictions: deep tissue work in the lower legs is avoided during pregnancy due to the increased risk of deep vein thrombosis. Specific acupressure points including Spleen 6, Bladder 60, Bladder 67, and Large Intestine 4 are traditionally avoided due to their association with uterine stimulation.
