Pregnancy is a beautiful journey that women may experience in their lifetime, but let’s be honest, it also comes with its fair share of aches, discomfort and restless nights.  That’s where pregnancy massage can help.  Designed specifically for mums-to-be, this gentle therapy can ease tension, reduce swelling, improve circulation and promote overall wellbeing throughout your pregnancy.  Pregnancy – or pre-natal – massage, is a form of therapeutic bodywork tailored to the needs of pregnant women and carried out by a trained therapist who understands the unique changes your body is going through.  The massage is adapted with comfortable, safe positioning and gentle massage techniques to ensure comfort and safety for both you and your baby.

Carrying a baby inside you changes your centre of gravity and puts a lot of stress on your back, neck, abdominal muscles, and shoulders.  Pregnancy also relaxes your ligaments and changes your posture, pulling your pelvis forward.  Add to that the extra weight you’re carrying and you can end up with tightness, soreness, aches and pains.  The aim of pregnancy massage is to help you become relaxed, work out tension from muscles, reduce soreness and improve the flow of blood in the body.  A pregnancy massage can also put you in a more relaxed state of mind to help you cope with all the big changes that are going on in your life.

A peaceful pregnancy massage is more than relaxation – it’s a safe, supportive therapy that helps you feel more comfortable throughout your pregnancy.

Please note that pregnancy massage therapy can begin after 12 weeks and continue throughout the second and third trimesters.
