Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy or Prenatal Massage is a specific Massage Treatment for pregnant women. It is a safe, gentle, relaxing and therapeutic massage treatment.

Using techniques to help alleviate common discomforts experienced during pregnancy like back pain, swelling and stress. This Massage Treatment uses the principles based on Swedish massage techniques. This is because of its benefits in reducing muscle tension, improving blood flow and stimulating lymphatic function. It is a relaxing treatment for both mum and bub.

Getting regular massage post-pregnancy helps to aid recovery, rejuvenate muscles to help your mind and body be at its best. Pregnancy Massage is done in a side-lying position with pillows used for comfort and safety.

The targeted areas during this Massage Treatment include: neck, shoulders, back, hips, legs and feet.

Note: At Zen Remedial and Natural Therapies we do not provide Pregnancy Massage before 12 weeks gestation.

There are specific reflex/pressure points throughout the body that should be avoided as these points connect to the uterus reflex/pressure points. This gets discussed before the Massage Treatment begins.
