Sanzen Prenatal Massage
Relieve Pregnancy Aches Safely with Our Expert Prenatal Massage
Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it often comes with aching backs, tired muscles, swollen legs, and restless nights. These are challenges many expecting mums face while experiencing Singapore’s fast-paced lifestyle. We’ve listened closely to the mums who walk through our doors, and many wished to experience pregnancy in a way that feels relieving, comfortable, and deeply nurturing. That’s why we created the Sanzen Prenatal experience, designed to care for your body and mind throughout this remarkable journey.
Our expert, certified therapists practice gentle Japanese massage techniques thoughtfully adapted for pregnancy that focus on safe, rhythmic pressure and calming touch to release tension, improve circulation, and soothe the body. We pay attention to the areas that matter most during pregnancy, and every session is carefully tailored to your trimester so you can fully relax and embrace your pregnancy journey with confidence and ease.
The Difference Between Sanzen Prenatal and Bidan Urut
| Feature | Sanzen Prenatal Massage | Traditional Bidan Urut |
| Primary Goal | Drain Fluid (Edema) & Lower Back Stress | Expel “Wind” (Buang Angin) |
| The Practice | Zero abdominal contact as the focus is entirely on the sides and back of the body to create space for belly to hang comfortably | Traditional Bidan performs “Sengkak” Womb Lifting, or abdominal massage during pregnancy to position the baby or relieve pelvic pressure. |
| Pressure Style | Lymphatic Gliding / Palm Pressure | Deep Tissue/ Thumb Pressure |
| Highly Recommended for | Prenatal Care and Safety | Postnatal Recovery |
Traditional Bidan Massage is the gold standard for Postnatal Recovery. But during pregnancy, your body requires the gentle, anatomical safety of Sanzen. The Sanzen prenatal massage is carefully designed for expecting mums and is recommended only after the first trimester onwards, ensuring both safety and comfort for you and your baby.
Key Benefits of Sanzen Prenatal Massage
Pregnancy Edema
Common fluid retention usually occurs in the feet, ankles, and hands, caused by increased body fluid and hormonal changes associated with the growing uterus. Sanzen focuses on gentle, rhythmic upwards strokes inspired by Japanese techniques to promote lymphatic drainage, helping to move trapped fluid back into the lymph nodes. This helps relieve swelling, resulting in smaller ankles and lighter legs.
Lower Back Aches and Pain
Physical and hormonal changes result in muscle strain, and the growing uterus can sometimes put pressure on the nerves in the pelvis and the back. Our therapists are trained to use perpendicular pressure to release muscles gripping the spine that creates a space between vertebrae without dangerous twisting.
Insomnia & Sleep Quality
Studies show that 44% pregnant woman suffers from insomnia and have poor sleep quality due to body aches and physical changes of pregnancy. Sanzen helps restore balance by including “Zen” a meditative state that is designed tolower cortisol levels and boosting serotonin so expecting mums can feel calm, relaxed, and enjoy more restful sleep.

“Excellent Massage” I booked a prenatal massage with Ikeda Spa in the morning as I couldn’t bear my achy back. Thankfully, there was a slot! The massage was really good, and the therapist managed to soothe my knots in my lower back and neck that were bothering me for some time. I signed a package on the spot and can’t wait to return again for another session. The staff were really polite and nice as well.
