Our Pregnancy Massage has been specifically designed to provide expectant mothers with the ultimate relief they need. Our Remedial Pregnancy Massage is perfect for easing aches and pains while allowing you to relax and unwind.
Unlike standard Pregnancy Massages, we don't just skim the surface. As specialists in Pregnancy Massage, we understand exactly what your body needs during pregnancy, and we're committed to helping you alleviate discomfort and tension throughout this special time. If you're seeking a massage that's tailored to pregnant women, we encourage you to book today.
What is the process of a Pregnancy massage?
At the start of your appointment, we will conduct a consultation and assessment to understand how you are feeling and identify any areas of tension or discomfort. Using a combination of pregnancy massage techniques and remedial methods, we will work to relax your body and release tension in any specific areas you need. Throughout treatment you will either lie on your back or side with use of bolsters and cushions to keep you and baby safe and comfortable.
To help you maintain your wellbeing and minimize any aches and pains, we will provide you with guidance and exercises to practice at home before you leave.
No one likes to be rushed, especially when you're pregnant. This is why we only offer a 90 minute pregnancy treatment to allow time for complete relaxation whilst being able to work on any niggling areas.

Pregnancy is a great time to get to know your pelvic health a bit better. We use a 1 hour pregnancy appointment to check your hips/pelvic joints and more importantly your pelvic floor muscles. We can assess how you are at connecting to those muscles. If you know how to relax them, how to “push” to optimise childbirth and hopefully make pelvic floor issues in the future less likely. We also discuss positioning and breathing for birth which are key for giving birth. Learning this information is also helpful for early days c section recovery and beyond as pelvic floor muscles are the cornerstone to good core health in the future.

Prenatal Physiotherapy is also helpful for pregnancy related pain associated with conditions like pelvic girdle pain and back pain. We use manual therapy, soft tissue techniques with plenty of advice and exercises to help you at home. So, there is no need to struggle on and put up with aches and pain “ just because you're pregnant".
