Of all the massages I got while preparing for my wedding, Yakson Myeongga Suncheon, a skin care specialist in Suncheon, was the most satisfying! Now that I'm in late pregnancy, my body feels heavier by the day — my belly has really grown, and my lower back, back, and hips are stiff, with my legs swelling easily. So I decided to try Yakson Myeongga's prenatal care.

Consultation, locker room and treatment gown at Yakson Myeongga Suncheon
Since I'm pregnant, I had a quick consultation about the prenatal care and then went straight to the changing room to get ready for the massage. The changing room has private lockers.
Treatment gowns are also prepared in different sizes.
Haha, off I go for my prenatal massage with my big round belly, haha.
What does the 60-minute prenatal massage include?
Yakson Myeongga's prenatal massage focuses on swelling and circulation, and is recommended for anyone preparing for or going through pregnancy. Honestly, all of Yakson Myeongga's massage programs are personalized, so it worked well even during pregnancy.
Massage during pregnancy: from which week is it safe?
Massage during pregnancy is generally possible from week 13 onward. In the early stage (0–12 weeks) it's best to avoid massage; weeks 13–27 are relatively comfortable for it. From 28–36 weeks, a pregnancy-specific massage is okay, and from week 37, since labor can start any time, it's best to avoid strong meridian pressure or abdominal pressure and stick to a gentle touch.
In particular, it's good to be careful about lying face-down for long periods or applying pressure to the belly, and to avoid the lymph nodes under the arms. When getting a prenatal massage, make sure the intensity matches your week and physical condition.
My prenatal massage ran for 60 minutes. They focused on the upper body first, then finished with the arms and legs together!
Head and shoulder massage in late pregnancy
The shoulder and head care felt so refreshing! Since I can't sleep flat on my back anymore with my belly this big, I've been sleeping on my side and had a lot of knots — they released them with just the right pressure, which felt great.
Upper back work: the part that hurt more than the lower back
Since getting pregnant, my back actually hurts more than my lower back, and they pinpointed and focused on that. Rather than pressing hard, they positioned me so I could stay comfortable throughout as a pregnant client, so the whole massage felt easy on my body.
Arm and leg massage and how the swelling changed
🎀🎀 The main event: arm and leg care 🎀🎀 It felt so refreshing throughout the prenatal massage! My legs are where I feel the swelling most, and after the massage they were noticeably lighter. (It had been a while since my last massage, so this really felt amazing.) Lately even a short outing left my body feeling heavy, but after this prenatal massage, my tight muscles loosened up and my fatigue melted away too!
The powder room after the massage
They even have a Dyson hair dryer ready for your hair after the massage — nice touch 🌟✨ Besides hair products, there are also some basic cosmetics, so you won't be caught off guard even if you have plans right after.
Is a late-pregnancy prenatal massage at Yakson Myeongga Suncheon worth a repeat visit?
With not much time left before giving birth, I really needed a moment to let my body rest comfortably, and I got to relax and ease my swelling — this confirmed once again that Yakson Myeongga is the skin care shop in Suncheon. From wedding prep care to prenatal and postpartum massage, Yakson Myeongga Suncheon has satisfied me every single visit. There's a reason their programs are so well known. If you're in late pregnancy and feeling heavy, especially with swelling, give Yakson Myeongga's prenatal massage a try~~~
