Pregnancy Massage
What is it?
Pregnancy Massage is typically either a deep tissue or holistic massage adapted for pregnancy, but can also include Hot Stone Massage. The main change is that rather than lying on your front and back, treatment is given while lying on each side. This prevents any pressure on the womb. Some clinics offer a pregnancy massage using a table with a hole for ‘the bump’ but this places undue stress on the lower back and is not ideal for mother or baby.
Pregnancy Massage is a great way to relax and relieve pain and discomfort throughout the whole body. Please note that it is only available for those who are past 12 weeks and we cannot treat anybody before that time. If you are pregnant but less than 12 weeks in, please contact us as we may be able to offer Acupuncture instead.
Some of the problems that pregnancy massage can alleviate or improve are:
Muscle tension
Muscle spasm & cramping
Sciatic pain
Oedema (swelling)
Discomfort caused by hormonal and postural changes
Mood swings & depression
Poor quality sleep
Headaches & heartburn
