Is It Safe To Get a Massage During Your Period?
Short answer? Yes. Long answer? Also yes—but with a few helpful tips to make sure you actually enjoy the experience.
Massages can support your wellness routine at every stage of your cycle. Whether you’re bloated, crampy, emotionally frazzled, or just feeling like your body’s not fully your own for a few days, a good massage session can help you reconnect—calmly, comfortably, and on your own terms.
That said, some people still feel weird booking a massage during their period. We get it. But here’s the thing: getting a massage while menstruating is not a big deal—and at Aescape, we’re all about putting the control in your hands (literally). With our fully customizable massage experience, you choose what feels good for your body, whether that means adjusting the pressure, targeting your lower back, or skipping areas that feel too sensitive.
And no small talk required? Yes, please.
The real question: how do you feel?
If you’re someone who wants to curl up with a heating pad and avoid all contact, maybe hold off for a day or two. But if you’re craving some relief—especially for those tense hips, low back, or hamstrings—a massage could be exactly what your body needs.
Some people even find that massage helps ease period-related tension, supports better sleep, and promotes that whole grounded, calm vibe we all chase mid-cycle. It’s about tuning in, not powering through.
Whether it’s day one or day five, a massage that fits your right now needs can ease physical tension and support your wellness routine—no disclaimers necessary.
When your lower back and glutes are feeling heavy or achy, the 30 min Low Back & Glutes Focused Relief massage is a great go-to. It’s designed to ease tension and help you feel more supported from the base up—without overdoing it.
You’re in charge of your experience
The biggest takeaway? Do what feels right for you. There’s no rulebook, and definitely no shame in caring for your body on your period—or any time, really.
If the idea of a quiet, pressure-adjustable massage where you don’t have to explain yourself sounds like a dream, Aescape is here for it. Our experience is built for moments like this: a fully customizable massage that meets you where you are, with no pressure to be “on” when your body just wants to rest and reset.
