Prenatal massage therapists use modified techniques and positioning to safely address the physical discomforts of pregnancy: low back and hip pain, sciatica, leg cramps, swelling, headaches, and general tension. They use pregnancy-safe positioning (side-lying or specialty cushions) and avoid pressure points and techniques that are not recommended during pregnancy. Postpartum massage supports recovery, reduces muscle tension from feeding positions, and provides a restorative break for new parents.
Common credentials
How to Choose a Prenatal Massage Therapist in Folsom
Look for a licensed massage therapist (LMT) with specific prenatal massage training or certification.
Confirm they have pregnancy-specific equipment — cushions or tables that accommodate a pregnant body comfortably.
Ask about their experience with pregnancy-related conditions like sciatica, carpal tunnel, and symphysis pubis dysfunction.
Check if they offer in-home visits, which can be especially convenient during pregnancy and postpartum.

Frequently Asked Questions About Prenatal Massage Therapists in Folsom
Is prenatal massage safe?
Yes, when performed by a therapist trained in prenatal techniques. They use modified positioning, avoid certain pressure points, and adapt their approach for each trimester. Prenatal massage is generally considered safe after the first trimester, though many therapists work with clients earlier. Always check with your healthcare provider if you have a high-risk pregnancy.
When can I start getting prenatal massage?
Most massage therapists accept pregnant clients starting in the second trimester (after 12 weeks). Some will work with first-trimester clients with physician clearance. There is no evidence that massage in the first trimester is harmful, but some therapists prefer to wait as a precaution.
How often should I get prenatal massage?
Many pregnant people benefit from monthly massage in the second trimester and biweekly sessions in the third trimester when discomfort tends to increase. The right frequency depends on your symptoms, budget, and how your body responds.
