Sorry you’ve never had one.


I agree with PP. No one will give me the pressure I need for it to make a difference.


Tell them. A massage therapist with proper prenatal training will work at the therapeutic level needed. I’m a lmt and received a sports massage and myofascial release during pregnancy. Use your words and give feedback. Def seek out non spa practice too, find a wellness center or more clinical massage practice that has prenatal certified therapists. I wish the Well was still open.


I did and they said "sorry, I can't on a pregnant client."


I’m sorry to hear that. It’s not true. They were not properly trained.


Also that sucks. I hope you’ve had better experiences since then. A crappy massage is stressful.

Ohana Wellness in Bethesda does great prenatal massages. I had two prenatal massages with each of my two pregnancies, and would highly recommend them.
