Your body is going through a world of changes, although amazing, some of these can cause discomfort, anxiety or issues that can last post-pregnancy.

Aimed to reduce common antenatal aches and pains, our pregnancy massage is unique in offering a deep, effective treatment, while still being a truly relaxing experience.

During your pregnancy massage, we address the muscular strains and imbalances growing a little human can place on your body. Common pregnancy-related conditions such as wrist pain (carpal tunnel syndrome), calf cramps, pelvic pain (including PGP or SPD), piriformis (buttock) pain, lower back/ shoulder/ neck pain, achy legs and feet, and rib pain, can be improved. Enabling you to have a more pain-free, enjoyable pregnancy.

As important as the physical benefits, our pregnancy massage also focuses on calming your mind and body in a peaceful and relaxing environment. Taking time for yourself to rest during pregnancy is essential in helping you prepare for birth and beyond. A strong, capable mind and body, helps to prepare you for the postnatal period.

All of our highly qualified therapists have completed multiple pregnancy courses and training to bring you an exceptional massage experience.

A pregnancy massage is one of the most recommended therapies during pregnancy as it can:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

• reduce pregnancy aches and pains⠀⠀

• improve common pregnancy-related conditions such as wrist pain (carpal tunnel syndrome), ease calf cramps, pelvic pain, piriformis (buttock) pain, lower back/shoulder/neck pain, achy legs and feet, rib pain, and SPD

• help correct postural issues caused by the weight of your baby

• improves your range of motion and flexibility

• reduces stress, anxiety, and depression

• help reduce nausea

• increase overall body awareness by helping you connect to your body and baby

• help you feel calm and ready for birth

• improve your ability to sleep by calming your nervous system

• lower the effects of restless leg syndrome

• reduce swelling by affecting the lymphatic system - removing excess fluid from the body

• improve shortness of breath

• increase endorphins

• potentially make labour easier!

Always personalised to you, before your appointment, we’ll ask you what your goals are from the treatment to ensure you get exactly what you need from your pregnancy massage.

We may perform an assessment visually, and manually of your problem areas either in standing or on the massage couch, to help determine the course of our treatment.

Usually, we will place you in a side-lying position for most of the pregnancy massage, getting you comfortable with as many cushions and blankets as you need. Your treatment will involve a range of hands-on massage techniques and gentle assisted stretches to enable your body to relax and release.

Following your treatment, homecare advice, stretching and additional pregnancy/postnatal support will be provided. If needed, we can also refer you to any other healthcare providers or therapists that may be beneficial to your pregnancy care. Our aim is always to help you understand your body better so you can continue to feel as good as you did with us, and for you to be able to continue to support yourself at home.

Pregnancy massage is available any time after your twelfth week of pregnancy and no matter how far along you are, we can work to make you more comfortable leading up to the due day.

Please note that appointment times include assessment times and dressing time, so expect around 50 minutes of hands on massage in a 60 minute treatment.

All of our highly qualified therapists have completed multiple pregnancy courses, are fully insured and are members of professional governing bodies.
