Prenatal and Postnatal Massage in Eugene, OR
Because your body is doing a lot and it deserves support that actually helps.
Whether you’re preparing for birth or recovering from it, one thing is certain:
Your body is carrying more than most people realize.
It’s adapting. Shifting. Compensating.
You’re getting through it, because that’s what moms do.
But you’re also stiff. Sore. Drained. Disconnected from muscles that used to feel strong.
And when someone finally asks how you’re feeling, all you can say is,
“I don’t even know where to start.”
That’s exactly why we’re here.
These Mom's Need Our Help The Most

This isn’t a luxury. It’s support your body can feel.
At Movement Improvement, we treat prenatal and postnatal massage as essential care — not pampering.
You’re not here for a rubdown. You’re here because your back hurts, your hips feel uneven, your sleep is shallow, and your nervous system is running on fumes.
Our job is to help you walk out with more comfort, more clarity, and more connection to a body that’s been through (or is preparing for) something incredible.
What to Expect From Your Session
Every session starts with a short check-in so we understand what your body needs right now — not what a prenatal protocol says should happen.
During pregnancy, we focus on:
Reducing low back and hip strain
Improving circulation and managing swelling
Addressing shoulder, neck, and ribcage tension
Supporting pelvic balance and posture
Calming your nervous system for deeper rest
After birth, we help you:
Rebuild connection to your core and pelvic region
Release neck and shoulder tension from nursing or holding
Ease low back tightness from postural shifts
Reduce inflammation and fluid retention
Feel grounded and centered again
We adapt every session in real time. Need to stay side-lying? No problem. Need heat or cupping for a specific area? If it’s safe and effective, it’s included.
You Need A Massage If...
You’re pregnant and carrying more physical strain than most people realize
You’re postpartum and feel like your body is still stuck in recovery mode
You’re holding tension you can’t stretch away
You’re tired of being told to “rest” when your body is still screaming
You want to feel supported, strong, and more like yourself again
Real Tools. Real Techniques. No Extra Fees.
We use deep tissue, myofascial release, neuromuscular therapy, percussion, hot stones, and lymphatic drainage techniques based on what you need. Not based on upsells or fancy titles.
There’s no add-on charge for the tools that help. If we believe it will help your body respond better, we’ll use it.
That includes real-world education too, like movement suggestions, breathing cues, or positions to support you outside the clinic.
You’re Not Just Growing Life. You’re Living It.
That forward, hunched posture you’ve developed while feeding, holding, or recovering? You can’t stretch your way out of it. But we can teach you real-world micro-corrections that take 10 seconds and fit into your daily routine. Simple changes to how you stand, breathe, and carry tension will support your recovery more than any YouTube mobility video ever could.
There is no perfect window for care. Whether you’re 18 weeks along or 8 months postpartum, your body deserves attention that goes beyond surface-level relaxation.
We’re here to listen, adapt, and help you feel like your body is working with you — not against you.
We’re based in Eugene, Oregon, and serve people throughout the Lane County area who want more from their massage experience.
This is not spa work. This is therapeutic massage built to help you understand your body, reduce breakdown, and build better movement over time.
Whether you’re paying out of pocket or using insurance, the goal is the same: get better and stay better.

Movement Improvement Massage 154 Google reviews Catherine Cox2025-08-24 Josh is fantastic! I was on vacation with two ribs out of place, in considerable pain. He worked me into his schedule and fixed me. What a relief! I have been pain-free ever since. Thank you Josh! Skin Shrimp2025-08-01 Absolutely incredible staff. Kaylyn was able to provide headache relief that I didn't even know was possible. Her knowledge clearly comes from years of specialized training in pain‑management massage. You Rock! Thank you so much. o.O Cachet Kirby2025-04-30 I always enjoy coming in for my massage and seeing Jana and Sierra up front. Everyone is very kind and welcoming! Mike the massage therapist is great and I notice a lot of improvements in my overall health and wellbeing since I've started my massages. If you're looking for a nice place with great people and awesome massage therapists give them a try! Em2025-04-30 Abe was great!! Would highly rec. Taylor McMurrian2025-04-30 I always have the best experience through my entire visit! Sierra is amazing upfront and is on top of getting me scheduled appropriately to work with my insurance, she truly makes it a breeze! Mike is the only MT I’ve seen here, he is so easy to talk to, has listened to my goals and is helping me gain more comfort in my daily life. It is a great atmosphere, no doubt I will keep returning and I would be happy to see any one of their providers! Raymond Mayer2025-04-30 If the stars went higher, I'd reach for the highest. 5 stars doesn't show how good you feel in this massage therapy location. Spacious restroom and excellent staff. . Now, let me just mention Jody for a second. Jody was able to get my body back to a natural operating state. I have a very physical job, so I knew I'd pay for it in the massage room today. Boy, did I, but I now feel the massage buzz I feel when you have a therapist that knows their stuff! Jody is super knowledgeable and was even able to easily tell that I clich my jaw often and that I had a couple of ribs out going into the massage. Look, just schedule your massage today, and see for yourself. If you want and like that deep tissue work that you've been putting off, this is your new go-to! . UPDATE: I've now had the opportunity to get at least 1 massage from each of the therapists here. The level of respect for personal boundaries and pain levels is unmatched in town. Still, off the charts! And the check in staff are friendly and efficient. My go-to studio to decompress. Heather Long2025-04-23 Clerk called twice after I scheduled online to see the owner. Once to confirm paperwork, second asking if I wanted to wait longer for a different massage therapist because they were" so expensive ". She reminds me again at the check out to see another therapist due to " how expensive" they are and says there in high demand and doesnt have anything available except the same time, same day, every week spot. Weird right?Same time, same day sounded great to me but I asked to have the owner call or text me.Clerk texted me later same day and told me to wait for a call or text back from owner. Never heard back. So Idk. Shame really, i thought I had a great appt with him and had been looking forward to finally getting some relief from long term skeletal problems.
