pregnancy massage

We can also offer massages during pregnancy, but not during the first trimester, we will also avoid massaging the belly, any pressure points and feet during any stage of pregnancy.

Massage during pregnancy has been proven to have many benefits including reducing stress, alleviating pain, relieving muscle spasms, increasing relaxation and a general feeling of well being.

During the various trimesters your pregnant body changes so that there are different strains and discomfort as your centre of gravity changes.  The massage is tailored to how you are feeling on the day.  There may be more work on lower back and hips and later working on legs and potential fluid build up.

We recommend a side laying position and provide additional pillows for support on our massage beds.

Certain aromatherapy oils can affect you during your pregnancy, we will avoid all aromatherapy oils during your massage, but if you have any concerns or would like to know more, please see our information on aromatherapy and massage

If you are in a high risk category, or are unsure if you are, we request that you consult with your physician prior to booking or commencing your treatment.
