Pre and Post Natal Care

Pre-natal/Pregnancy massage has an important role to play as part of your pregnancy support strategy. Pregnant women often suffer from neck, shoulder, back, hip and foot pain due to hormonal changes and the increasing physical load.

Pregnancy massage is a gentle, relaxing massage that can be used safely throughout the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. It is a popular complementary therapy that can be used for back pain when choices for pain relief, such as medication, can be limited. From weeks 38 onwards there are specific techniques and pressure points we can stimulate which are meant to help with the induction of labour.

Pregnancy massage helps to alleviate tension and pain, relieves headaches, leg cramps, insomnia, fluid retention, stress and fatigue.

  • Eases aching muscles, particularly in upper back

  • Improved circulation

  • Helps with fluid retention in the legs

  • Relieves tiredness and fatigue from the extra weight carried

  • Helps you to relax from the pressures of the pregnancy and gives you a bit of pampering before your baby arrives
