Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy massage pays special attention to the needs of the mother to be, helping her to achieve a higher level of well being and in turn nurturing the new life growing inside her.

Benefits of massage during pregnancy:

  • A natural form of pain relief that reduces stress and anxiety, aiding deep relaxation in preparation for labour
  • Encourages more restful sleep, combating insomnia and fatigue
  • Relieves the stress placed on weight bearing joints due to increased weight gain (hips, knees and ankles)
  • Alleviates muscle tightness, tension, and stiffness and can be specifically tailored to target lower back pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, calf cramps, tension headaches, pregnancy induced oedema (swelling) or sinus congestion
  • Increases blood circulation, which reduces stress on the heart, helping to keep blood pressure in check and assisting in removing toxins from the body
  • Enhances pliability of skin and underlying tissues, accommodating the
    growing bump and improves the flexibility of muscle and joints, loosening the pelvis in preparation for birth

This massage can be tailored to suit your stage of pregnancy and to the symptoms that you may be experiencing, and can be adapted for relaxation or for pain and tension relief. This treatment can include massage in all (full body) or some of the following areas according to your requirements: scalp, face, neck, shoulders, back, arms, hands, stomach (not during first trimester), legs and feet.

Post-natal Massage

Massage after the birth of your baby promotes a speedy recovery and restoration of your body to its pre-pregnant condition.

  • Brings relief to sore muscles after the delivery
  • Addresses the strains and stresses on the body of carrying and caring for a newborn
  • Helps to shrink the uterus and relieve scar tissue
  • Gives the new mum some time to herself to relax

The body can take time to recover after giving birth and it is often the case that focus gets shifted over to the baby and the mother’s health is neglected. Taking some time out to receive post-natal massage is can really make a difference
