Pregnancy Massage

For all mothers-to-be. This gentle massage is designed specifically for expectant mums who need a safe and soothing way to relax and get relief for all those aches and pains that can come with pregnancy. Massage therapy during pregnancy can be a valuable way to tune into the bodies’ needs. The weight of the growing baby means the mothers body needs to adapt, shift and change. It is often these musculoskeletal changes that result in soft tissue dysfunction, aches and pains, and swelling. 

Massage therapy is usually allowed from conception through to birth. If there is a history of miscarriage or other health concerns massage therapy may be contraindicated and consultation with a doctor is advised. In general, massage therapy is encouraged and very beneficial during each stage of pregnancy, even to just have some time to lie down and rest.

In general, deep tissue and heavy remedial massage is not applied during pregnancy massage. Light to medium level Swedish and relaxation massage techniques are used. As the pregnancy develops it becomes uncomfortable and eventually impossible to lay face-down on the massage table. The massage routine is adapted so the mother-to-be can be in a side lying position with pillows and bolsters for extra comfort.

The chance to have some time to rest and connect with your body during pregnancy in a cosy ambient room with soft, tranquil music and the restorative nature of massage is perfect for both mother and baby.
