START WITH WHAT YOU’RE EXPERIENCING

Tell us what you are experiencing. Your Registered Massage Therapist can assess concerns within their scope, discuss whether massage therapy is appropriate, and adapt care to your individual presentation.

PREGNANCY & PHYSICAL CHANGES

Your Body May Feel Different During Pregnancy
Physical changes during pregnancy can affect people differently. What feels noticeable during one stage of pregnancy may change as pregnancy progresses—or may not occur at all.
Some pregnant patients notice changes involving their back, hips, pelvis, neck, shoulders, legs, or other areas of the body.
Others may notice that familiar activities, work demands, sleep positions, exercise, or prolonged sitting and standing simply feel different than they did before pregnancy.
Not every symptom has the same cause, and not every pregnancy-related concern is appropriate for massage therapy. An RMT considers your individual presentation rather than assuming that a symptom is caused by pregnancy alone.

COMMON PHYSICAL CONCERNS

Physical Concerns You May Experience During Pregnancy
Pregnant patients may speak with their Registered Massage Therapist about physical concerns such as:
Back & Hip Discomfort
Changes in physical demands may be accompanied by discomfort or muscular tension involving the lower back, upper back, hips, or surrounding soft tissues.
Neck & Shoulder Tension
Neck and shoulder tension may occur alongside work, sleep positions, changes in activity, prolonged positions, or other everyday physical demands.
Muscular Tension & Tenderness
Areas of muscular tension or tenderness can occur throughout pregnancy and may change over time.
Stiffness & Changes in Comfortable Movement
Some people notice that certain positions or movements feel less comfortable as their body changes during pregnancy.
Previously Existing Musculoskeletal Concerns
Pregnancy does not necessarily mean an existing joint, muscular, or soft-tissue concern disappears. Your RMT can consider relevant health information alongside your current physical presentation.

WHAT AN RMT CAN ASSESS

Where Registered Massage Therapy May Fit
Experiencing a symptom during pregnancy does not automatically mean massage therapy is—or is not—appropriate.
A Registered Massage Therapist can assess physical health within the scope of massage therapy, including relevant concerns involving joints, soft tissues, pain, movement, and physical function.
Your RMT may consider:
- Where you are experiencing discomfort
- Muscular tension or tenderness
- Relevant joint movement
- Changes in comfortable movement
- Activities or positions associated with your concern
- Previous injuries or musculoskeletal concerns
- Your current physical demands
- Relevant health information
- Your preferences and treatment goals
This helps your RMT determine whether your concern is appropriate for Registered Massage Therapy and discuss treatment options with you.

LOWER BACK, HIPS & PELVIC REGIONS

Lower Back, Hip & Pelvic-Area Discomfort
The lower back, hips, gluteal region, and surrounding soft tissues can be areas of physical concern during pregnancy.
You may notice discomfort while walking, changing positions, sitting or standing for longer periods, exercising, working, or completing everyday activities.
Rather than assuming there is one pregnancy-related cause, your RMT can assess relevant joints and soft tissues within massage therapy scope and consider how the concern presents for you.
If your symptoms suggest that assessment outside massage therapy may be appropriate, your RMT may recommend speaking with another healthcare professional.

NECK, SHOULDERS & UPPER BACK

Neck, Shoulder & Upper-Back Tension
Pregnancy-related changes do not occur only around the abdomen, hips, and lower back.
Some pregnant patients also experience muscular tension, tenderness, stiffness, or discomfort involving the neck, shoulders, and upper back.
Your RMT can assess the physical concern rather than assuming pregnancy is its only cause. Treatment considerations may also include your daily activities, work demands, sleep positions, previous concerns, and what feels comfortable for you.

HEADACHES

What About Headaches During Pregnancy?
Headaches can have many causes, and experiencing a headache during pregnancy does not necessarily mean it is a muscular concern.
If a headache occurs alongside neck, shoulder, jaw, or other muscular tension, an RMT may assess the relevant joints and soft tissues to determine whether there are physical concerns within massage therapy scope.
New, unusual, severe, or concerning headaches during pregnancy should not be assumed to be appropriate for massage therapy. Seek assessment from an appropriate healthcare professional when needed.

SWELLING

Swelling During Pregnancy Deserves Individual Consideration
Changes in swelling may occur during pregnancy, but swelling can have different causes and should not automatically be treated as a massage therapy concern.
Tell your RMT about swelling or other changes in your health before treatment.
New, significant, sudden, unusual, or concerning swelling should be discussed with your physician, midwife, nurse practitioner, or another appropriate prenatal healthcare professional.
Your RMT can determine whether there are physical concerns within massage therapy scope that may be appropriate to assess or treat.

WHEN TO SEEK OTHER CARE?

Not Every Pregnancy Symptom Belongs on the Massage Table
Pregnancy can involve symptoms and health changes that require medical or prenatal assessment rather than—or before—Registered Massage Therapy.
Your RMT does not diagnose or treat pregnancy complications or conditions outside the scope of massage therapy.
Speak with your prenatal healthcare provider about new, significant, unusual, or concerning symptoms, or when you have questions about the health of your pregnancy.
If your health has changed since your last massage therapy appointment, let your RMT know before treatment begins.
Massage therapy can be one part of your care. It does not replace appropriate prenatal or medical assessment.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR PHYSICAL NEEDS DURING PREGNANCY

Pregnancy is an individual experience. Registered Massage Therapy begins by understanding the physical concern you are experiencing and whether it falls within RMT scope.

Physical Changes

Muscular tension, joint or soft-tissue discomfort, stiffness, and changes in comfortable movement may be among the physical concerns experienced during pregnancy.

Individual Assessment

Your RMT considers your current presentation, relevant health information, physical demands, and treatment goals when determining whether massage therapy is appropriate.

Collaborative Care

Massage therapy can complement your broader prenatal care, with referral to another healthcare professional when a concern requires assessment outside RMT scope.
