BODY ACHE ESCAPE WELLNESS CENTER
Prenatal Massage in Pickerington, Ohio
You’re growing a person.
Let us take care of you.
Your hips ache. Your back has opinions. And getting comfortable has become a whole production.
You can love being pregnant and still need a break from how it feels. Let someone take care of you for a change.
60 or 90 minutes. No half-hour prenatal sessions.
EVERYONE ASKS ABOUT THE BABY. WE’LL ASK ABOUT YOU.
Pregnancy massage for your changing body.
How is your body feeling today?
Maybe your low back is tired before the day even starts. Your shoulders are carrying the to-do list. Or you’re just ready for a quiet room where nobody needs anything from you.
Our pregnancy massage starts there. Your therapist listens, helps you get supported on the table, and adapts the session to your changing body. There is no prize for pushing through discomfort here.
FOR THE ACHY PARTS
Your back. Your hips. Your shoulders.
Tell us where you’re feeling it. We can focus on everyday muscle tension and the areas working harder as your body changes.
FOR THE REST OF YOU
A little less bracing.
A calm room. Thoughtful touch. Time to loosen your shoulders and stop being “on” for a while.
FOR YOUR COMFORT
Pillows in the right places.
Side-lying support, comfortable draping, and adjustments along the way. If something isn’t comfortable, we change it.

Not sure which to choose? Text or call us. We’ll help you find the right fit.
NO AWKWARD BELLY-DOWN POSITIONING
We help you get comfortable. Then we keep checking.
You’ll usually rest on your side with pillows supporting you. We adjust the table and positioning to suit your needs, rather than expecting you to fit a standard massage setup.
Your therapist checks in about pressure, temperature, and comfort. Need another pillow? A different position? Less conversation? Say so. You don’t have to apologize for needing what you need.

FROM A MOM WHO HAS BEEN THERE
“Just the right pressure.”
“I’m 9 months pregnant and had my prenatal massage with my massage therapist! It felt amazing, she applied just the right pressure and worked on common achey areas from pregnancy like my hips but also working on my back and shoulders.”

One client’s experience. Your session is personalized, and results vary.
THOUGHTFUL CARE STARTS WITH A CONVERSATION
Is prenatal massage right for you?
Tell us about your pregnancy when you book. Talk with your OB or midwife about massage, particularly if your pregnancy is high risk or you have complications, new symptoms, or questions about what is appropriate for you.
Share any provider instructions with your therapist. We may need to adjust or postpone an appointment based on your health history and how you’re feeling that day.
Bleeding, severe pain, sudden swelling, fever, or a painful, swollen leg should be discussed promptly with a medical professional rather than treated with massage.
Massage supports comfort and relaxation. It does not replace prenatal medical care or promise changes to labor or birth outcomes.

Your prenatal massage questions, answered.
How long is a prenatal massage?
Choose a 60-minute or 90-minute session. We do not offer 30-minute or half-hour pregnancy massages.
How much does pregnancy massage cost?
Prenatal massage is $100 for 60 minutes or $144 for 90 minutes.
Do you have a pregnancy table or special pillows so I can lie face down?
No. We do not use belly cutout tables or special pregnancy cushions designed for face-down massage.
We know lying on your stomach can sound wonderful when you haven’t been able to do it for a while. Here, we help you settle comfortably on your side with supportive pillows, and adjust your positioning as needed.
Cleveland Clinic advises that side-lying is generally the safest position for prenatal massage, even when a table with a belly cutout is available.
Your therapist can still work on your back, hips, and shoulders while you’re on your side. Let us know if you need another pillow or a change of position.
Do I need approval from my OB or midwife?
Talk with your prenatal provider about massage, especially if your pregnancy is high risk, you have complications, or you have new symptoms. Please share their guidance when you book and at your appointment. We may need to postpone or modify your session.
How much pressure will my therapist use?
Your therapist adapts the pressure and focus areas to your pregnancy, health history, and comfort. Tell us what feels good and what does not. Your massage should never feel like something you have to endure.
When in pregnancy can I book?
Call us with how far along you are, your health history, and any guidance from your OB or midwife. We will help you choose an appropriate appointment rather than assume every stage of every pregnancy needs the same approach.
Can I get a massage close to my due date?
Call us to discuss your stage of pregnancy and your prenatal provider’s guidance. Your session can focus on comfort and relaxation. We do not offer massage as a way to induce labor.
What should I do before my appointment?
Complete your health intake form and arrive a few minutes early. Let us know how far along you are, what is bothering you, any pregnancy complications, and any instructions from your prenatal provider.
Can someone give me a pregnancy massage as a gift?
Yes. A Body Ache Escape gift certificate can be put toward prenatal massage. Choose an amount for a 60- or 90-minute session, and let the recipient book a time and therapist that suit her.
