Pregnancy Massage

Service Description

Pregnancy Massage: Nurturing Comfort and Wellness Pregnancy is a time of immense change, both physically and emotionally. Pregnancy massage is a specialised form of therapeutic bodywork that supports expecting mothers during all stages of pregnancy. This gentle, carefully adapted massage is designed to address the unique needs of pregnancy, helping to relieve common discomforts and foster overall wellness. Each treatment is tailored to your needs, focusing on areas that experience the most tension, such as the lower back, hips, shoulders, and legs. Special bolstering and positioning in a side-lying position ensure your comfort during the treatment. Whether seeking relief from discomfort or simply a moment of calm, pregnancy massage offers a nurturing experience that supports both mother and baby. Benefits of pregnancy massage include: - Pain relief: targets back, neck, and joint discomfort associated with changes in posture and weight. - Reduced swelling: helps to alleviate fluid retention, especially in the legs and feet. - Stress reduction: promotes relaxation, easing physical and mental stress. - Improved sleep: encourages restful sleep, which can be challenging during pregnancy. What to expect when you arrive for your treatment: Before your treatment, you will be sent a short consultation form to complete. This will let me know what stage of pregnancy you are at, how the pregnancy has been so far and general information about why you have decided to book a Pregnancy Massage (for example aches, pains or relaxation). When you arrive, we will go over the form and you can share any other information you think would be useful for me to know. For the treatment itself, you will be in a side-lying position, supported by cushions so you are cosy and comfortable, or in a semi-reclining position. The treatment consists of Swedish and Deep Tissue techniques, mobilisations and guided visualisations, though each treatment is tailored to each client's needs.
