Massage alleviates aches, pain and tension during every stage of your pregnancy and helps ensure rapid postnatal recovery. The safety and wellbeing of both the mother and baby is considered at all times. The benefits of pregnancy massage include:

Relaxation and Stress Relief; reduced pain in lower back, neck & hips; increased circulation which in turn reduces swelling; enhanced skin pliability.

The client sits on a chair at the side of the massage couch and leans over the couch, totally supported and made comfortable with the use of pillows. The back is massaged appropriately with the practitioner standing and crouching behind the client. Most pregnant clients are so relaxed that they manage to fall asleep – practically sitting upright!!

Massage will also help restore the body to its pre-pregnant condition by relieving sore muscles, relaxing the body and reducing the likelihood of abdominal scar tissue.
