Prenatal and Postnatal Massage in Calgary SW
Pregnancy and postpartum come with real physical changes and discomforts. At Panda, our pre & post-natal massage sessions are provided by licensed RMTs and tailored to your stage of pregnancy or recovery, comfort level, and goals. We use pregnancy appropriate positioning and techniques to support safety and relaxation.
What Is Prenatal Massage?
Prenatal massage is a specialized form of therapeutic massage designed to support the changing pregnant body. It commonly focuses on areas that become strained during pregnancy such as the low back, hips, shoulders, and legs, using modified positions such as side lying or semi reclined with supportive pillows.
What Is Postnatal Massage?
Postnatal massage supports recovery after birth. It can help address common postpartum tension patterns, fatigue, and the physical demands of feeding, carrying, and sleep disruption. Your therapist will tailor the approach to your comfort level and recovery timeline.
What Is Panda’s Difference?
Panda only uses experienced Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) to provide Prenatal/Postnatal massage to ensure the best results, completed with the highest standard and professionalism.

Every pregnancy and postpartum journey is different. We will adapt techniques and positioning based on how you feel on the day of your appointment.
Safety and Positioning
Prenatal massage is generally considered safe when performed by trained therapists using pregnancy specific positioning and techniques. If your pregnancy is considered high risk, consult your healthcare provider before booking.
Positioning may include side lying or semi reclined setups to avoid abdominal pressure and maximize comfort.
What to Expect at Your Appointment?
Your therapist will review a short intake, confirm your stage of pregnancy or postpartum recovery, and ask about key symptoms and comfort needs. The session will be customized and adjusted throughout. If anything feels uncomfortable, tell us right away so we can modify pressure or positioning.
