The months leading up to childbirth can be an exciting yet challenging time for expectant mothers, as the body undergoes many physical changes. Pregnancy massage offers a range of benefits, including relief from lower back pain, neck and shoulder tension, leg cramps, and headaches. This therapeutic massage can be a beneficial addition to your birth plan, helping you manage discomfort and stress.

Typically, pregnancy massage is performed while lying on your side. However, if preferred, a specialized pregnancy pillow can be used to support your comfort when lying on your stomach.

Postpartum massage is equally beneficial, aiding in recovery after childbirth. It helps reduce excess fluid retention and provides relief from muscular aches associated with breastfeeding and holding your newborn. Additionally, it can assist in managing stress and anxiety linked to postnatal depression.

To ensure your safety and that of your unborn child, it is recommended that you consult with your GP or obstetrician prior to treatment, especially if there are any medical conditions that require consideration.
