Therapy Explained: Pregnancy Massage

The Treatment of the month for April is Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy is an exciting time, but it can also come with its share of discomforts! Pregnancy massage is a safe and effective way to alleviate some of these discomforts and promote relaxation, circulation (massage can improve swollen wrists and ankles) and well-being.

Pregnancy Massage can improve common problems associated with pregnancy such as lower back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain and muscle tension.

Changes in position and pressure applied ensure massage is comfortable, relaxing and safe for both mum and baby. In pregnancy lying flat on your back is not advised, clients are treated in a sitting or side lying position with a light to medium pressure.

Massage treatments can be changed and adapted according to your stage of pregnancy and preferences for each treatment. You will be asked questions before your treatment to ensure it is suited for you and your baby.
