About Menstrual Massage

Menstrual massage is a focused treatment designed to address the cramping, bloating, low back pain, and general discomfort that accompany menstruation for many clients. Using gentle abdominal massage, sacral compression, and lower back work, your therapist targets the muscle and fascial tension that intensifies menstrual symptoms.

Abdominal massage during menstruation helps reduce uterine cramping by improving blood flow and relaxing the surrounding musculature. Work on the sacrum and low back addresses the referred pain patterns that cause the characteristic “period back” that many clients experience. Light lymphatic techniques along the abdomen can help reduce bloating and fluid retention.

Many clients are surprised to find that massage during menstruation feels deeply relieving rather than uncomfortable. The session is entirely respectful of your comfort — your therapist will adjust positioning, pressure, and areas of focus based on your symptoms and preferences on the day of your appointment.
