Prenatal Massage Therapy in Safety Harbor

Pregnancy is an incredible experience, but it also places real physical demands on the body. As your baby grows, muscles stretch, posture shifts, and everyday movements can begin to feel very different. Many mothers-to-be notice new tension in their lower back, hips, neck, and shoulders. Even sleeping comfortably can become a challenge during certain stages of pregnancy.

Prenatal massage offers a safe, relaxing way to help your body adjust to these changes. At Safety Harbor Therapeutic Massage Center, we focus on supporting the unique needs of expecting mothers with gentle, targeted massage therapy designed specifically for pregnancy. Our goal is simple: help you feel more comfortable, reduce physical stress, and give you a moment to slow down and take care of yourself during this important time.

A Massage Designed Specifically For Pregnancy

Pregnancy massage is not the same as a standard massage. Your body is changing quickly, and the techniques used need to support those changes safely and comfortably. Prenatal massage focuses on easing tension, improving circulation, and helping your body feel supported as it adjusts to pregnancy.

Our therapists focus on the areas that tend to hold the most stress during pregnancy. The lower back, hips, shoulders, and legs often carry the extra workload as posture shifts and weight distribution changes. By gently working through these areas, we help relieve tightness while encouraging relaxation throughout the body.

Session Options Available

Expectant mothers can choose the session length that best fits their schedule and comfort needs.

60-minute Prenatal Massage – $90: A focused session that allows your therapist to work through the most common tension areas while giving your body time to relax and reset.
90-minute Prenatal Massage – $135: A longer session that allows for deeper relaxation and extra attention to areas like the hips, back, and shoulders, where pregnancy tension often builds.

Why Many Expecting Mothers Turn To Prenatal Massage

Pregnancy changes the way your body moves, rests, and carries weight. Even women who were very comfortable early on can begin feeling stiffness or fatigue as the months go by. Many clients schedule prenatal massage simply because they want to feel better physically. Others come in because they want a quiet hour to relax during a time that can feel busy and overwhelming.

Benefits Many Clients Notice

Relief from lower back and hip tension
Reduced neck and shoulder tightness
Improved circulation
Reduced swelling in legs and feet
Better overall relaxation
Less physical fatigue

Taking time for a prenatal massage can help the body reset while giving your mind a break from the day as well.

Who Prenatal Massage Therapy Is A Great Fit For

Every pregnancy is different, but many expecting mothers find prenatal massage helpful as their bodies begin adjusting to new physical demands. It is especially beneficial for women experiencing tension in areas that were not previously problematic.

Prenatal massage can be helpful if you are experiencing:

Lower back discomfort from posture changes
Tight hips or leg fatigue
Shoulder or neck tension
Trouble getting comfortable when resting
Physical fatigue from daily activities

Many clients continue prenatal massage throughout their pregnancy as their body continues to change and adapt.

First-time clients often arrive curious about what a prenatal massage will actually feel like. The session is designed around comfort and safety, with positioning and techniques adapted specifically for pregnancy. You can expect:

Comfortable positioning designed for pregnancy

Focus on tension areas like the back, hips, shoulders, and legs

Testimonials

What They Say

Dr. John Viverito

I have been going to Safety Harbor Therapeutic Massage Center for over 25 years. I started therapeutic massage because of chronic low back pain which started when I was a teenager. Heather is my primary therapist and her approach has given me great relief. The therapists are professional and effective!

I am a Pediatrician and have referred families to the Safety Harbor Therapeutic Massage Center a number of times and received only positive feedback. They all received relief.

The atmosphere at Safety Harbor Therapeutic Massage is professional, peaceful, and quiet. I highly recommend Safety Harbor Therapeutic Massage.

Santis Squitiro

“I am so grateful that my brother recommended that I come to see you 8 years ago! You never fail to have me feeling better within the hour on your table. I had been living with back pain since I was 27 years old, and now with monthly massage, I have been pain free for the last 8 years. What a great find you are! Most things that are good for you are usually things you don’t want to do! Not true with your treatment! I look forward to coming every month and it feels great! “

Marliss Jones

“Thanks for over fifteen years of providing excellent massage therapy for myself, family, and friends that I have recommended. The office is very relaxing and sets the mood for a wonderful massage. You are always professional and welcoming to your clients. People have tried to offer other therapists in the area over the years, but the comfort and care given by Safety Harbor Therapeutic Massage Center keep the clients returning week after week. Thanks for helping to keep me moving, out of pain, and relaxed.“

Laurel Foster

“This business definitely deserves the recognition of #Businessoftheyear!! I’ve been going here for years. I love the friendly staff, especially Peggy at the desk and my massage therapist Megan! My favorite thing about them is that you get the whole hour. And the massage is out of this world! I also love that they respect your desire to either talk or not talk. The location is perfect too. Right on downtown Main Street so I can shop, walk or grab a bite to eat or drink before or after my massage. Sometimes I make an afternoon of it. I highly recommend Safety Harbor Therapeutic Massage Center!“

Sandie Guthrie

“I took advantage of a 90 min special and it was one of the best days of my life! Just walking into the front office was an intimate and relaxing experience. The colors, decor, mood, and reception staff made me feel so welcome! Melissa took extreme care to address my ailments, but also provided such helpful info to help me prevent further injury to my body in my daily routine. I’ve had massages for years, this was definitely one of my all-time most relaxing and beneficial. Thank you, thank you.“

Tina Doland

Absolutely amazing! So friendly and welcoming! The atmosphere is so calming and relaxing, and everyone is genuine and happy to see you! Felicia is my therapist; she does IASTM with Hawkgrip therapy tools!!! After our first session, I had a major increase in my mobility. She worked out knots and tight spots I didn’t realize I had. Felicia is outstanding and you’ll get the best massage of your life. There are no words to express other than AMAZING!!! I didn’t think it was possible to feel this good and so many benefits for my body. I get 90 minutes and there’s no turning back!!!

Rebecca Pikos

I LOVE this place!! I have seen various massage therapists at Safety Harbor Therapeutic Massage Center, and they are all equally amazing in their own unique way. Michael has great firm pressure for deep tissue massages, and he has a knack for finding all the problem spots! Felicia is so knowledgeable about variable therapeutic techniques and will have your problem areas feeling much better when you leave. The other therapists are equally as good, professional, and talented. As a dentist, I have been getting massages for years, so I know a good massage when I get one! Their prices are VERY reasonable, their front desk is friendly, and the office is always clean. I would highly recommend them.

Positive: Communication, Professionalism, Quality

I have been a client at Safety Harbor Therapeutic Massage #BusinessoftheYear for several years now. The facility is warm and welcoming and very clean. The staff is also warm and welcoming and very professional. I usually purchase a package which is very reasonable. I schedule my massages with Brenda who is very thorough and relaxing. I have also never had to wait and we finish right on time so scheduling is easy. I thoroughly enjoy my massage time and always look forward to the next visit.

Jacqui McCurdy

Bliss! Peace-filled relaxing ME time! My stress filled days are often in need of some ‘release’. I can TOTALLY understand why Safety Harbor Therapeutic Massage Center received the #Business of the Year award! I have been a customer for over 15 years and have found this business to be consistent in all aspects. Consistently excellent therapists who strive for MY best experience. Consistently excellent in cleanliness and great relaxing atmosphere which you feel immediately upon entering the office. It literally feels like a calm wave of peace washing over you. Thank you for being there when I needed my ‘knots’ knocked out! You have a customer for life!

Heidi Blaine

I have been going to the Safety Harbor Therapeutic Massage Center for 8 years. The experienced massage therapists are the best I’ve found not only for relaxation but for specific needs due to an injury, and pain from many sources. I buy the 60-minute packages regularly and try to go once a month or more. It is my husband’s “go-to” gift for me for any occasion. The new location is relaxing clean and safe. If you haven’t gone you owe it to yourself to book an appointment today. Their computerized system of booking an appointment reminding you of your appointment and the ability to easily make changes is so convenient. So what are you waiting for, ask Santa for this gift this year.

Julie Smith

I have had two sessions here and there are not enough words to convey how amazing they are!!! The attention to detail is impeccable!! I had a session with Mark and another with Melissa and both were outstanding! I have a medical condition and Melissa actually took the time to research it before my massage and Mark was awesome as well. The young lady at the front desk is wonderful! So friendly and helpful. I had a late appointment and they left a glass of water with a sticky note with my name on it! Heather answered my email and all of my questions well after 8 pm and still responded early in the morning to confirm my appointment. Honestly, they take customer service to a whole new level I love this establishment and I will be telling my friends! If you want a massage these folks are the real deal!

Lisa Kerosky

I’m so happy and thankful that my Orthopedic doctor recommended massage therapy and Heather for my neck injury from work. Heather is truly the best and has taken such good care of me and all my neck and shoulders issues. I highly recommend this place and the atmosphere is very welcoming, relaxing, and peaceful. Five stars!

Amy Callaghan

I’ve been a client of Safety Harbor Therapeutic Massage Center for going on 10 years. Heather, the owner, is always gracious and concerned with providing the utmost quality care. She hires THE best therapists in the Bay Area. Many have been with her for years which provides consistency and trust for us clients. Each one specializes in their areas and will accommodate any need. I am ever so grateful to know that they will work me in anytime I need it.

Claire Ullery

It starts at the beginning while calling to make an appointment and speaking to the delightful, charming, and helpful assistant Peggy. She’s happy to help, giving descriptions of each therapist to help a new client decide on the best fit for them. The office is serene even while busy, offering naturally infused water or herbal teas. The facility smells clean and fresh, and it will put you at ease immediately. Each therapist has their own unique style, of course, but each is highly educated, experienced, and skilled. You’re in excellent care no matter who you choose! When I am there I am able to completely tune out the world, my problems, and have my physical discomforts addressed so that when going back into the world I feel totally refreshed and renewed. I am an LMT myself and I’ve tried many different therapists, but SHTMC is my #BusinessoftheYear as it is the one place that I ALWAYS return to. AND, when I’m not able to accommodate my personal clients, I refer to them there. Give them a try, you’ll be so happy!
