Prenatal massage therapy is a fantastic complementary option for expecting mothers to support their prenatal care. It offers a range of advantages, such as alleviating back pain caused by muscle tension, relieving pressure on weight-bearing joints, and improving the suppleness of the skin and underlying tissues. Additionally, it proves highly beneficial in soothing anxiety, reducing stress levels, and promoting better sleep. Our skilled therapists cater to the comfort of women with normal, low-risk pregnancies throughout the treatment, ensuring they reap the full benefits of the various massage techniques available. Embracing prenatal massage can lead to a more relaxed and enjoyable pregnancy journey, nurturing both the body and mind during this special time.

Our therapists are incredibly attentive and will adapt their services and approach to match the comfort of the customer, as no two pregnancies carry exactly the same way. We encourage our customers to let us know if there is anything in particular that needs attention or if certain pain points are to be avoided to eliminate the risk of discomfort during a therapy that should be relaxing, relieving and thoroughly enjoyable.

During a pregnancy massage, the massage therapist takes special care to create a safe and comfortable environment for the expectant mother. The massage is typically performed with the mother lying on her side or using specialised pregnancy pillows to support her body.

The therapist uses gentle and nurturing techniques to address the specific needs and discomforts associated with pregnancy. The focus is on promoting relaxation, reducing muscle tension, and alleviating pregnancy-related aches and pains.
