During pregnancy the body goes through many changes; hormones change; ligaments loosen and there is more strain on the body which can lead to postural changes. It can be a very exciting time but also very stressful, tiring and full of anxiety.
Pregnancy massage can be used to treat many of the aches and pains that occur in pregnancy and will also promote better sleep. It also allows you some time to yourself to feel pampered!
Targeted massage treatment can aid in the relief of:
Back & pelvic pain, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Headaches, restless legs, piriformis syndrome, sciatica
Pregnancy massage is considered to be safe and during your first consultation we will carry out a thorough consultation to ensure there are no contraindications.
In the second and third trimesters you will be positioned on your side with pillows to make you feel comfortable.
The massage is carried out as a full body massage and includes some gentle stretches and mobilisations of the shoulders, wrists, hips and ankles.
After the birth of the baby, it is very easy to forget your own needs but post-natal massage will continue to help with many of the aches and pains you may still be suffreing with and importantly allows you time to relax!
