Pregnancy Massage

The Pregnancy Massage is designed to relieve aches and pains, reduce stress and decrease swelling in expectant and new mothers. This relaxing and soothing treatment helps support mothers both physically and mentally through the challenges of childbirth.

The treatment is not available during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. After this time, if your doctor or midwife confirms you are OK to enjoy a massage, you are able to start treatments.

What to expect during your treatment at Bodywork Therapies.

When you arrive for your initial treatment a consultation will take place. Details of your medical history and any current issues will be discussed. For subsequent treatments, this will not be necessary but you will be asked if anything has changed since your last treatment.

Before the treatment commences the plan for that treatment will be discussed and agreed. This will outline the areas to be worked, explain any specific details you will need to know and ensure you are happy with the proposed treatment, and know what to expect.

The treatment will normally take place on a table and bolsters and/or pillows will be used to support you and ensure your comfort. You will be requested to undress but will be covered with a towel.

The pregnancy massage treatment uses gentle, long, slow strokes to promote relaxation with gentle kneading movements on any areas of tension. A little “You Time” when you’re tired, achy and un-comfortable. For more details contact Jo at Bodywork Therapies on 07811 208403.
