What to Expect From Your Appointment
Initial Consultation
Your initial appointment with your dedicated massage therapist will include a thorough history taking to understand your issue. This will then lead your therapist to establish areas of focus and set out an appropriate treatment plan for your pregnancy journey.
Comfort
Pregnancy massage is typically conducted using our specialised pregnancy cushion, enabling you to lie safely and comfortably on your front, with additional pillow support as required. Alternatively, we can adjust the position to side lying or elevated lying on your back, ensuring both comfort and safety with the aid of pillows.
Treatment
During a pregnancy massage, the therapist uses a variety of advanced techniques that are safe and comfortable. These techniques may include long strokes, kneading, and varied soft to firm pressure applied to specific areas of the body to alleviate common pregnancy-related discomforts such as back and hip pain, leg cramps, swelling, and sciatic nerve pain.
