The demands and physical limitations of pregnancy require a specialised approach to Remedial Massage Therapy. When applied correctly, Pregnancy Massage is a safe and natural form of massage therapy that helps to relieve the muscular tension and pain often experienced by expectant &/or new mothers, due to the multitude of physical changes a woman’s body undergoes during and after pregnancy. Pregnancy Massage utilises various Remedial techniques, including Myofascial Release, Orthopaedic Massage, Effleurage and Petrissage.
Whilst special care must be taken during the first trimester, Pre-natal Pregnancy Massage may be applied throughout the entire pregnancy to treat as well as to assist in the prevention of muscular cramps, chronic muscle tension, lower back pain, and peripheral swelling. In contrast, Post-natal Pregnancy Massage may be used after birth once your doctor has given consent for massage, to help restore normal muscular balance, ease swelling, and reduce the arm, neck & shoulder strain that is often experienced by nursing mothers.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WRITTEN APPROVAL FROM YOUR GP OR OBSTETRICIAN MAY BE REQUIRED UNDER CERTAIN MEDICAL CIRCUMSTANCES, PRIOR TO COMMENCING WITH PRE- &/OR POST-NATAL MASSAGE.
