Sessions commonly last 60 minutes, with options for 30 or 90 minutes. We include time for consultation and comfortable positioning. Choose a duration that fits your needs; longer sessions allow more comprehensive work on hips, back, and legs.

Inform us about your due date, any pregnancy complications, history of blood clots, hypertension, or placenta concerns, current medications, and prior surgeries. Mention areas of pain or swelling so the therapist can adjust pressure, positioning, and techniques for your safety.
