Relief for back and legs
“in pregnancy”

Pregnancy is a unique time — and also a real challenge for the body. A growing bump shifts your centre of gravity.

Your back and lower back work overtime. Your legs swell by evening, and sleep can become shallow and restless. Prenatal massage doesn't treat or "fix" anything — it's a gentle massage, fully adapted to pregnancy, that eases tension and gives you a moment of rest. We work in a side-lying position, supported by special pillows, using gentle movements. We focus on the back, lower back and swollen legs — and always avoid the abdomen. Less back pain, lighter legs, calmer sleep, and an hour just for you. At J'adore Instytut, the treatment is performed by a massage therapist / therapist trained in working with pregnant women. Below you'll find everything worth knowing before your visit.

How it works

How it works

Prenatal massage involves manual work with gentle, flowing movements and light pressure, fully adapted to your changing body during pregnancy. You lie on your side, supported by special pillows that take the weight off your abdomen, spine and hips — the safest and most comfortable position for an expectant mother. A calm, steady rhythm eases tension in the back and lower back, while gentle work on the legs helps with the heaviness and swelling that so often develop in the second half of the day.

The goal is simple and important: relief, relaxation and a moment of rest — without straining the body, without deep kneading, always avoiding the abdomen. This isn't "an ordinary massage performed more carefully" — it's a separate, deliberately guided treatment, adapted to your trimester and how you feel on the day.

Three layers in cross-section: the skin at the surface, the fascia together with the subcutaneous tissue beneath it, and deepest of all the muscles, where tension gathers. Gentle pressure in a side-lying position works on the skin, the fascia and the muscles of the back. The massage therapist matches the pressure to your tolerance.
  1. Neck and shouldershours at a screen, shoulders pulled up to the ears
  2. Between the shoulder bladesdesk work, the back held closed
  3. Lower backsitting, lifting, long drives

Did you know: calm, rhythmic touch lowers tension not only for the mother-to-be. When a mother relaxes, she breathes more deeply and steadily — a state in which the whole body, including the baby, simply "slows down". An hour to yourself during pregnancy isn't a luxury — it's a real part of self-care.

  6. Need for restan hour just for you, breathing space in an intense time.

From when, and under what conditions

We perform prenatal massage from the second trimester (usually after weeks 12–14). We do not recommend massage during the first trimester and won't perform it without clear medical indication — this is a period when we remain especially cautious. We also always ask for confirmation from your doctor that there are no contraindications. This isn't bureaucracy — it's real safety for you and your baby.

A space for women

Because this time is just for you

For her

Your body changes every week — the massage keeps pace with those changes

Prenatal massage for women is a treatment designed entirely around the expectant mother — her body, her wellbeing and her need for rest. It's a space for women in its purest form: a safe side-lying position, gentle touch, work exactly where pregnancy places the greatest strain, and full respect for your comfort and privacy. The intensity is always gentle, matched to the day and the trimester.

The areas we support

  1. back and lower back — relief for spine pain caused by the growing bump;
  2. legs and ankles — gentle work to ease heaviness and swelling;
  3. neck and shoulders — releasing tension from changed posture;
  4. side-lying position on pillows, always avoiding the abdomen — comfort and safety come first.
For him

Prenatal massage — a treatment dedicated to expectant mothers

This treatment is dedicated to pregnant women, so there's no separate version for men — but there is an important role for a partner. Prenatal massage is one of the most thoughtful gestures of care you can give an expectant mother: a voucher for a visit says "take care of yourself and rest" better than words can.

The areas we support

  1. a voucher for prenatal massage — a gift for a baby shower, a birthday, or "just because";
  2. a gesture of support during an intense time — an hour of calm for someone close to you;
  3. a way to genuinely ease the load — instead of asking "how can I help", simply take care of it.

A tip for partners: the best gift for an expectant mother is often the one she wouldn't ask for herself. A voucher for prenatal massage takes away the decision of "is it okay to take care of myself" — because the decision is already made. We'll sort out the rest (date, approach) together on the day, with her wellbeing in mind.

Safety

The deciding factor in everything

In pregnancy massage, safety matters more than any "effect". That's why we follow a few fixed, non-negotiable rules — and we ask that you know them before your visit:

  1. From the second trimester

    We usually perform prenatal massage after weeks 12–14 of pregnancy. We do not recommend massage during the first trimester.

  2. Your doctor's approval

    We ask for confirmation that your gynaecologist or midwife sees no contraindications — especially with a high-risk pregnancy, spotting, high blood pressure or other complications.

  3. Side-lying position on pillows

    We don't lay you face-down or flat on your back for extended periods; a safe side-lying position takes the weight off the spine and doesn't press on major blood vessels.

  4. We avoid the abdomen

    We never massage the abdomen or the area around it — we work on the back, lower back, legs, neck and shoulders.

  5. Gently and without straining

    Light pressure, no deep muscle "breaking down", no hot compresses and no strong essential oils, which can be unsuitable during pregnancy.

Red flag: when to see a doctor first (or skip the massage) · We don't perform the massage (or only with written approval from your doctor) if there is: a high-risk pregnancy or complications, spotting or bleeding, suspected premature contractions, high blood pressure or pre-eclampsia, uncontrolled gestational diabetes, thrombosis or suspected thrombosis (pain, swelling or redness in the calf is an absolute warning sign), as well as fever, infection or acute inflammation. We don't recommend massage during the first trimester. If you have any doubts at all, speak to your gynaecologist or midwife first — we always postpone a visit when your safety or your baby's is at stake.

What to expect during your visit

The question I hear most often at the start is: "am I really allowed to do this?". The answer is always the same: if you're past the first trimester and your doctor sees no contraindications, we can begin — calmly and gently. And if anything feels uncomfortable during the session, even the position of a pillow, just say so and we'll change it. Your comfort always comes first here.

  1. Hydration

    drink water after the massage

    After the massage and for the rest of the day, drink water calmly, in small sips. Good hydration supports circulation and helps reduce swelling — especially important during pregnancy.

  2. Rest

    give yourself a moment

    If you can, don't dive straight back into things. A calm moment, legs slightly raised, no rushing — this is when the relaxation and relief in your legs work best.

  3. Raising your legs

    for swelling

    In the evening, prop your legs up slightly (for example, on a pillow) — a simple way to support lymphatic drainage and reduce the feeling of heaviness after a long day.

  4. Sleeping on your side

    the most comfortable and safest option

    The evening after a massage is a good time for sleep — your body is relaxed. During pregnancy, sleeping on your left side, with a pillow between your knees, is the most comfortable and safest position.

  5. Hot baths and sauna

    better to skip these

    Very hot baths, saunas and hammams aren't advisable during pregnancy — overheating the body isn't good for you or your baby. A lukewarm shower or a warm (not hot) bath is absolutely fine.

  6. Strenuous exercise

    not on the same day

    Skip intense exercise after the massage. A gentle walk is great, but straining the body right after a session undoes the calm we've just worked to build.

Frequently asked questions

  1. QuestionFrom which week of pregnancy can I come for a massage?
    AnswerWe perform prenatal massage from the second trimester — usually after weeks 12–14. We don't recommend massage during the first trimester and won't perform it without clear medical indication. This is a period when we remain especially cautious.
  2. QuestionDo I need my doctor's approval?
    AnswerYes, we ask for confirmation that your doctor (gynaecologist or midwife) sees no contraindications to massage. This is especially important with a high-risk pregnancy, spotting, high blood pressure or other complications. Your safety and your baby's safety matter most to us.
  3. QuestionIs massage during pregnancy definitely safe?
    AnswerYes, provided the conditions are met: from the second trimester, with your doctor's approval, in a side-lying position on pillows, avoiding the abdomen, and without straining the body. It's a separate, deliberately guided treatment — not an ordinary massage performed "more carefully". If anything worries you, we stop at any moment.
  4. QuestionI have a high-risk pregnancy or complications — can I still have a massage?
    AnswerWith a high-risk pregnancy, spotting, high blood pressure, pre-eclampsia or suspected thrombosis, we only perform the massage with clear approval from your doctor — otherwise, we don't perform it at all. In this situation, speak to your gynaecologist first; without their green light, we postpone the visit.
