Pregnancy places significant and ever-changing physical demands on the body. As the body adapts to support a growing baby, many expectant mothers experience back pain, hip discomfort, swelling, fatigue, and muscle tension that can make an already demanding time feel even more challenging. Prenatal massage is a safe, effective, and deeply comforting way to address these physical changes and support overall wellbeing throughout pregnancy.
At Stiso Chiropractic, Acupuncture & Massage Therapy in Manasquan, NJ our licensed massage therapist is trained in prenatal massage and works with expectant mothers at every stage of pregnancy in a private, comfortable setting designed to make the experience as relaxing and beneficial as possible.

Is Prenatal Massage Safe?
Prenatal massage is safe throughout pregnancy when performed by a therapist trained in prenatal technique. Our massage therapist adapts the session to the specific needs and comfort of each patient at every stage of pregnancy, using positioning, pressure, and techniques that are appropriate for the trimester and any individual health considerations.
As with any new treatment during pregnancy, we recommend letting your obstetrician or midwife know you are receiving prenatal massage, particularly if you have any high risk pregnancy factors or complications. If you have any concerns about whether prenatal massage is appropriate for your specific situation, we are happy to discuss them before you book your first appointment.
What to Expect
Your prenatal massage session will take place in a private room with individual lighting and music, creating a calm and peaceful environment that supports deep relaxation. Positioning is carefully adapted for your comfort and safety throughout the session. Sessions are available in 60 and 90 minute lengths and are tailored to the areas of greatest discomfort and need for each individual patient.
Our massage therapist takes the time to understand your specific concerns and pregnancy related symptoms before beginning each session, adjusting her approach as your pregnancy progresses and your needs change.
Prenatal Massage and Chiropractic Care
Many expectant mothers at our practice combine prenatal massage with chiropractic care during pregnancy. Chiropractic care during pregnancy helps maintain proper pelvic alignment and spinal function as the body changes, while prenatal massage addresses the muscular tension and discomfort that accompanies those changes. Together they offer comprehensive support for the physical demands of pregnancy and are available under one roof at our Manasquan practice.

Our office is ground level with no steps, making it fully accessible and easy to navigate at every stage of pregnancy. Every session is completely private. And our massage therapist brings genuine care and expertise to every prenatal patient, understanding that this is a time when feeling supported and comfortable matters enormously.
