🀰 Pregnancy (Prenatal) Massage

Pregnancy massage is adapted to the changing needs of an expecting mother. It eases back pain, swelling and stress while using safe positioning and pressure.

How it works

In the second and third trimester you usually lie on your side, supported by pillows, rather than on your back or stomach. The therapist avoids certain pressure points and uses lighter, flowing strokes.

What it feels like

Gentle and soothing, focused on the lower back, hips, neck and legs. It should feel comfortable at every point β€” always tell the therapist how you are feeling.

Who it suits

  • Expecting mothers with back or hip discomfort.
  • Those wanting to reduce stress and improve sleep.
  • Usually safe after the first trimester β€” but check with your doctor or midwife first.

Important

Choose a therapist trained in pregnancy massage and tell them how far along you are. If you have a high-risk pregnancy, get clearance from your healthcare provider before booking.
