Relief for the body that gives life
A gentle massage lying on your side that eases your back and heavy legs.
We give pregnancy massage with gentle, flowing strokes in a safe position, usually lying on your side, supported by soft pillows. We use unscented argan oil, which irritates neither sensitive skin nor the heightened sense of smell that comes with pregnancy. We adapt the pressure and pace to your week of pregnancy and to how you feel that day.
It is designed for mothers-to-be from the 2nd trimester troubled by a sore back, a stiff lower back, tension in the shoulders or heavy legs after long hours of standing and sitting. It isn’t a medical treatment; it’s time just for you and your baby. Our article Massage during pregnancy explains when massage is suitable. At our salon a few steps from Old Town Square, your massage is given by therapists from Southeast Asia, trained at renowned schools there.
What you take home
- Relief for your backYour back and lower back, carrying a growing bump day after day, finally let go, without a single uncomfortable press.
- Lighter, rested legsHeavy legs shed the strain of long hours standing and sitting, and you get up from the table feeling lighter.
- Calm for body and mindTension melts, your mind grows quiet, and you leave calmer than you came.
- A precious moment for youTime with nothing to solve and nothing to prepare for the baby: just breathe, feel the touch and rest.
How it works at ESCAPE
- Arrive and slow downAt reception we welcome you with a drink that changes colour in front of you, and we talk briefly about which week you’re in and what is troubling you. You keep your underwear on (disposable underwear is ready if you prefer it), settle on your side supported by soft pillows, and we cover you with a towel.
- Gentle and flowingWith soft strokes and unscented argan oil, the therapist works on your overloaded back, lower spine, legs, shoulders and neck, always in a position that is safe for you and your baby. You set the pace and pressure: just say so and she adjusts right away.
- Warm tea to finishThere’s no hurry: sit up in your own time and rest over a cup of warm tea. You are welcome to take a shower if you like.
We give this massage from the 2nd trimester and only in a low-risk pregnancy. It is relaxing care for your well-being, not a medical treatment. With any complications or concerns, please talk to your doctor first. Not sure? Message us. Please arrive 15 minutes early.
the story behind it
Origins and tradition
Pregnancy massage is a modern discipline that adapts massage technique to the pregnant body. Side-lying with pillows, say between the knees and under the bump, is also the advice for sleeping in pregnancy. Up to two thirds of mums-to-be say they notice smells more intensely, so your therapist here uses unscented argan oil. In Morocco the know-how of making it passes mainly from women to their daughters; UNESCO listed it as intangible heritage in 2014.

Your questions about pregnancy massage
From when in pregnancy is the massage safe?
We give pregnancy massage from the 2nd trimester, and only in a low-risk pregnancy. We don’t recommend it in the first trimester or in a high-risk pregnancy. We explain why in Massage in the first trimester of pregnancy.
What position will I be in during the massage?
Most often lying on your side, supported by soft pillows, so the position is comfortable and safe for you and your baby. We cover you with a towel and adjust your position whenever it stops feeling comfortable.
Do I need to talk to my doctor first?
With any complications or uncertainty, we recommend discussing the massage with your gynaecologist beforehand. This always applies with unexplained pain or bleeding, signs of early labour, a suspected blood clot or a fever. With marked swelling, severe headaches, dizziness or shortness of breath, see a doctor rather than come for a massage. If you’re unsure, message us and we’ll talk it through.
Does the massage help with a sore back and heavy legs in pregnancy?
Yes. A gentle pregnancy massage eases tension in the back and lower back and brings relief to tired, heavy legs. It is relaxing care for your well-being, not a medical treatment. With any health concerns, talk to your doctor first.
How long does the massage take, and how do I book?
You can choose 60 or 90 minutes. We recommend 90 minutes, so your back, lower back, legs and shoulders get enough time at a calm pace. Book online in a few clicks, by phone on +420 734 331 444 or via WhatsApp.
Why on my side and not on my back?
Later in pregnancy, lying on your back for long periods can let the womb press on the large vein and artery behind it; doctors call this aortocaval compression. That is why we massage you on your side, supported by pillows, and your therapist helps you turn so she can work on both sides. If a semi-reclined position feels more comfortable, just say.
How much does a pregnancy massage cost in Prague?
At the ESCAPE salon in Prague 1, a pregnancy massage costs 1,890 CZK for 60 minutes and 2,390 CZK for 90 minutes. Unscented argan oil, a welcome drink and warm tea after the massage are included. You’ll find all our other massages in the price list.
Can I come after giving birth too?
Yes. After the birth we offer the gentle Aromatherapy Massage or the Coconut Oil Massage. Please come once the postpartum bleeding has stopped, and with your doctor’s approval. You’ll find more on our Postpartum Massage page.
How can I pay?
Online when you book (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay), or later at the salon by card or in cash (CZK or EUR). You can also pay with a gift voucher. Cash is 4% cheaper: the card fee we save goes to you.
Can I cancel my booking?
Yes, cancelling or changing your booking is free up to 24 hours ahead. Just call +420 734 331 444, message us on WhatsApp or email info@escapemassage.cz. We charge no fee for later cancellations; we only ask you to let us know in time.
