PREGNANCY MASSAGE
A question that arises when women fall pregnant is, is it safe to get a massage? The answer is yes! There can be a misconception about the safety of pregnancy and massage, and though there are some exceptions, on the whole it is a fantastic practice used for many women to ease discomfort, pain, and tension experienced during pregnancy.
Pregnancy massage is not overly different to that of a remedial or relax massage.
As your body changes throughout your pregnancy we will adjust the positioning of your massage, using extra pillows and/or bolsters. This is aimed at supporting you as your stomach grows to ensure you are comfortable, this is often in a side lying position. Massage therapists are also trained in the areas that may need more attention and the areas which to avoid. Pregnancy massage if often a lighter style of massage, although the massage therapist will help tailor the type of massage that is right for you by gathering information from your lifestyle and overall health.

Reduced stress and anxiety
Improved blood flow/circulation
