Pregnancy can be so hard on your body. I know when I was pregnant with both my children, I had aches and pains I didn’t think were possible!

I have compiled a list of the top rated places in the city!
What are the benefits of prenatal massage?
Besides being totally relaxing, here are some of the ways a prenatal massage can be great for you:
- increases your blood flow and relaxes the muscles which helps to relieve aches and pains
- helps flush metabolic wastes from the body, which is especially beneficial for pregnant women
- can relieve stress, anxiety, and depression by stabilizing hormone levels caused by hormonal changes
- can relieve headaches caused by muscle tension, stress and trigger points
- sciatic nerve pain can be reduced by targeting muscle tension associated with the uterus resting on muscles in your lower back and pelvic floor
Where can I get a Prenatal Massage in Toronto?
Below is a small list of 5 of the top places to get a prenatal massage in Toronto. My advice before you book any prenatal massage is to make sure the place you are choosing has experience in this and can accommodate your bump safely. My list focuses on businesses that have a focus on maternal health and well-being. A benefit to using this type of clinic is they usually offer a multitude of services relating to all of your prenatal and postnatal needs.
Personally, I found it very beneficial during my pregnancy to be able to get a massage at the same space I could also see a chiropractor or physiotherapist and even get lactation support.
