Pregnancy Massage
Our pregnancy massage is a gentle, specialised treatment designed to support expectant mothers through the physical discomfort and musculoskeletal changes of pregnancy. Particularly appropriate during the second and third trimesters, this therapy helps relieve pain, tension, and postural strain in key areas such as the back, pelvis, and ribcage.
Our therapists use carefully adapted techniques to ease muscle tightness, improve circulation, and reduce swelling, all while ensuring the comfort and safety of both mother and baby. This treatment helps alleviate common pregnancy-related physical symptoms, while supporting functional mobility and reducing physical strain.
Each session is personalised to your stage of pregnancy and individual needs, addressing pregnancy-related musculoskeletal discomfort and physical strain. **Please be advised that we do not recommend pregnancy massage during the first trimester.
