Pregnancy Massage
During Pregnancy, women experience anatomical, physiological and psychological change. Pregnancy massage has been shown to reduce anxiety, improve mood, sleep and result in reduced back and hip pain amongst prenatal mothers. Our qualified and highly skilled massage therapist will use appropriate pressure based on any cautions or contraindications of your pregnancy. Pregnancy Massage is generally focused around the key areas, which become impacted from the postural changes of pregnancy. We often target treatment around the mid back, shoulders, chest, lower back and hips + circulation to the upper and lower legs. Treatment protocols are independent and can differ between pregnancies.
