Pregnancy Massage

---

Pregnancy massage is specially adapted for mothers-to-be, using gentle techniques to help you relax, ease aches, and prepare for labour. Each session is tailored to you, with positions and cushions adjusted for comfort—whether supported seated, lying on a massage table, or using specially shaped bolsters. No one-size-fits-all bump holes here!

During pregnancy, your body goes through many changes, so deeper tissue work is avoided. Instead, long, light strokesare used to improve circulation, reduce tension, and soothe areas like the lower back, legs, and even your belly if you’d like. Every move is designed to help you feel comfortable, calm, and cared for.

Is it safe?
According to the NHS, pregnancy massage is a safe complementary therapy. If you have any concerns, speak to your midwife, GP, or obstetrician.

When to avoid massage:

• First trimester, especially if you have a history of miscarriage
• Severe nausea or vomiting (though some therapists can help with mild symptoms)
• High-risk pregnancies (e.g., placental issues or risk of premature labour)

Benefits of pregnancy massage:

• Eases aches, sciatic and pelvic pain
• Reduces swelling in ankles and feet
• Calms anxiety and promotes relaxation
• Supports better sleep

Whether you want to relax, relieve tension, or simply feel cared for, pregnancy massage is a gentle way to nurture both body and mind.
