PREGNANCY Massage

<< Back

Your body will undergo some major changes during pregnancy. As well as helping to relieve many of the common ailments associated with pregnancy, massage can help mother and baby remain in a balanced and healthy state both physically and mentally.

Clare is fully qualified in pregnancy massage and uses a soothing combination of therapeutic massage techniques to alleviate muscle tension, reduce fatigue and induce relaxation. 

Massage during pregnancy can also help you to cope with some of the physical changes you may be experiencing as it specifically helps to: reduce fluid retention, aid digestion, enhance sleeping patterns and maintain the suppleness of the skin.  Circulation is also improved, aiding the supply of nutrients and oxygenated blood to both mother and baby.

A side-lying position enables a gentle back massage to be carried out and the use of pillows, cushions and large soft towels ensures that you are fully supported and comfortable at all times.  100% natural grapeseed oil is used which helps to soften the skin and is hypo-allergenic.  The special couch then allows you to recline comfortably at a 45 degree angle so that your therapist can massage your legs and feet, arms and hands and finish of the treatment with a blissfully relaxing Indian Head massage.

Post-Natal Massage
Massage is not only beneficial during pregnancy, but also afterwards as well.  Postnatal massage focuses on helping to restore your body to its pre-pregnancy condition and aims to nourish and tone stretched skin, aid relaxation, reduce neck and shoulder tension and boost your energy levels.  Feel free to bring your new baby along so you can continue breastfeeding and can enjoy the restful environment together.

Massage Safety
It is perfectly safe and highly beneficial to have massage from the first trimester of pregnancy onwards, although it is always wise to check with your GP or midwife first in case they have any concerns.  Post-natal massage is recommended from 6 weeks onwards.
