Pregnancy massage is a gentle and relaxing treatment to help support you and your baby through this special time in your life.

 

A pregnant mother may experience muscle pain and tension, restless or cramping legs, sleep disturbance, fatigue and anxiety during pregnancy.

 

Relaxation massage techniques are used to help relieve these symptoms for the mother.  Studies also show that baby's health is positively influenced if the mother is not stressed.

​

Oedema (swelling) in the legs, ankles and feet may also occur during pregnancy due to increased fluid volume, added strain on the mother’s body systems and decreased mobility.  Manual Lymphatic drainage (MLD) techniques can be used to reduce oedema in the 2nd-3rd trimesters. MLD is a light, gentle, rhythmic and repetitive set of techniques to stimulate lymphatic nodes, organs and vessels which can influence the movement of lymph (fluid) in the body.
