Pregnancy massage, also known as prenatal massage, is a specialised form of therapeutic massage designed to support the health and well-being of expectant mothers.
This type of massage focuses on addressing the unique physical and emotional needs during pregnancy. Pregnancy massage therapists use gentle and soothing techniques to alleviate common discomforts such as back pain, swelling, and fatigue.
​
Key benefits of pregnancy massage include:
​
-
Reducing stress and promoting relaxation
-
Easing muscle tension and joint pain, particularly in the lower back, hips, and legs
-
Enhancing circulation and reducing swelling in the hands and feet
-
Improving sleep quality and overall mood
During a pregnancy massage, therapists take special care to position the client comfortably, often using cushions or a special table to accommodate the growing belly and ensure safety.
The massage techniques are adapted to each stage of pregnancy, with particular attention to avoiding certain pressure points and ensuring the mother's and baby's safety.
Overall, pregnancy massage provides a nurturing and supportive experience, helping expectant mothers feel more comfortable and connected during this special time.
