Prenatal Massage Therapy in Fairview, OR — Finally, Relief That's Safe for Both of You

Pregnancy should be about excitement and anticipation—not constant aching and sleepless nights.

At Springwater Chiropractic, our specialized prenatal massage therapy doesn’t just help you feel better. It helps you enjoy this incredible journey while preparing your body for the healthiest delivery possible.

The Truth About Pregnancy Pain (And Why You Don't Have to Just "Deal With It")

Your doctor probably told you that back pain, hip discomfort, and swollen feet are “just part of pregnancy.”

That’s not entirely true.

While some discomfort is normal as your body changes, debilitating pain isn’t something you have to endure for nine months. 

Springwater Chiropractic’s prenatal massage safely addresses the root causes of pregnancy-related pain—without medications that could affect your baby.

Here’s what most expecting moms in Fairview don’t know: Your body is designed to adapt to pregnancy, but sometimes it needs help. The right therapeutic touch can make all the difference between suffering through your pregnancy and actually enjoying it.

What Our Prenatal Massage Can Help With

Why Springwater’s Pregnancy Massage Therapy Actually Works

As your baby grows, everything in your body shifts. Your center of gravity changes. Your posture adapts. Some muscles overwork while others weaken. Hormones soften your ligaments, making joints less stable.

Pregnancy massage therapy specifically addresses these changes:

The best part? It’s completely safe when performed by trained prenatal specialists at Springwater Chiropractic.

The First-Time Mom

Everything feels new and overwhelming. Your body is changing faster than you can adapt, and you're not sure what's "normal" pregnancy discomfort versus something that needs attention.

The Experienced Mom

You remember how tough pregnancy was last time, but now you're chasing toddlers while pregnant. Your body is exhausted before you even hit the second trimester.

The Active Mom-to-Be

You're used to regular workouts and staying mobile, but now even walking upstairs leaves you winded and achy. You want to stay active throughout pregnancy safely.

The Working Professional

You're at a desk all day, and pregnancy has made your neck, shoulders, and lower back unbearable. You need relief that won't interfere with your job.

The High-Risk Pregnancy

Your doctor has you on modified activity, but the stress and limited movement are creating their own set of problems. You need gentle, safe relief.

The Questions Every Expecting Mom Asks

Is prenatal massage really safe? I'm worried about hurting the baby.

When performed by trained prenatal specialists, massage therapy is not only safe but beneficial for both mom and baby. We follow strict safety protocols and have specialized training in pregnancy massage.

Generally after your first trimester, though, some gentle techniques can be safe earlier. We’ll work with your doctor’s recommendations.

We work with many high-risk pregnancies and will coordinate with your healthcare team. Some conditions require modifications, but most women can still benefit from gentle massage therapy.

Pregnancy massage therapy is particularly effective for lower back pain, sciatica, hip discomfort, and swelling. We’ll assess your specific situation and create a targeted treatment plan.

Most of our patients start with weekly or bi-weekly sessions, then adjust based on how they’re feeling and their due date proximity. We’ll recommend what makes sense for your situation and budget.

Most obstetricians are supportive of prenatal massage, especially when performed by qualified specialists. We can provide documentation for your medical team if needed.

Don't Wait Until You're Miserable

At Springwater Chiropractic, we see this all too often: moms push through months of discomfort thinking it’s “just part of pregnancy” or worrying if care is safe. By the time they come in, they’re exhausted, stressed, and dreading the weeks ahead.

You don’t have to wait until you can barely function.

The earlier you start prenatal massage therapy, the more we can focus on preventing pain before it disrupts your pregnancy journey—instead of only treating problems once they’ve taken over. Your pregnancy should be filled with joy and anticipation, not constant discomfort.

We’re conveniently located in Fairview, just minutes from Gresham, Troutdale, and Wood Village. With easy parking and a welcoming environment designed with expectant moms in mind, we make it simple to get the care you deserve.
