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.

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.

Here's What Our Customers Are Saying
Movement Improvement Massage 143 Google reviews Kimberly Carver2025-03-12 Best massage ever. In just one hour , Mike had the pain shooting down my leg relieved and the pain in my neck and shoulders / biceps resolved. It’s temporary of course since it’s my first time but I’m so grateful for the relief right now. Brought my pain from a 6/7 to a 2! I’ll be back weekly to help keep my muscles in this state and then I can go further out after that to keep my muscles happy. So very happy to finally find a place and masseuse that knows what they’re doing for my specific issues and not just a one time thing to make you feel relief for a day. Front office is also great and pleasant to work with. They take insurance too! So glad my doctor referred me to them. Zach Ropp2025-03-08 The whole team from check-in to the therapists are all genuine, approachable and relational in their care for clients. John is excellent to work with, engaging in whatever goals you have in striving for improvement in whatever area needs work. Sessions are tailored to you with open communication the whole time.

He checked in to make sure pressure was good. Excellent massage! Renée L2025-02-04 Jody was thorough, empathetic, and knowledgeable! The massage was wonderful and she responded to questions and concerns. Overall, great company! katie anthone2025-02-03 Loved my first appt! R Y2025-01-30 Movement improvement and Josie have improved the quality of my life exponentially! The front office staff is wonderful and they make you feel truly valued and appreciated. It’s not just because you’re a customer. It’s because they’re genuinely kind and lovely people. I can’t believe there’s a whole practice with everyone being a therapeutic massage therapist and wow, what a difference! If you want relief that lasts, this is where you need to come. I Just finished my second session with Josie and I simply cannot express enough how unbelievably skilled she is. I went in with excruciating pain and extremely limited mobility and a limp and I left with none of those and feeling relief I haven’t felt in years. I have had no less than 40 massage therapists all over the world throughout my life and she is by far one of the top three. She is extremely caring, knowledgeable and intuitive and passionate about helping you feel better not just in the moment but every day. She possesses this unique and incredible combination and I am beyond grateful and thoroughly impressed. If you are in pain or need improvement with your movement, , this is the place to come and Josie is the person to do it. I have heard that the other therapists here are talented as well, but I don’t personally know about them; however, I tell you that Josie is a life-changing savant who is one of the top in her field in the world. Mattison Solgan2025-01-23 Had a fantastic massage here done by Abe! Plus, the staff here have all been super friendly!!! Highly recommend going here!!!
