Perinatal Massage Therapy for Pregnancy and Postpartum Care
Prenatal Massage
This nurturing massage focuses on alleviating common pregnancy discomforts such as back and hip pain, neck and shoulder tension, and sciatica, and promotes general wellness for the mother-to-be. Special care is taken to ensure the comfort and safety of both the mother and baby. Positions and techniques are adapted to accommodate the changing body, providing a soothing and supportive experience throughout the pregnancy journey. You can opt for pregnancy bolsters that accommodate the growing belly and tender breast tissue, and that allow you to lie in a face-down position, or you can choose to lay on either side, or in a safe, semireclined position on your back - whatever is most comfortable to you.
Postnatal Massage
Postnatal massage therapy is equally important in helping new mothers and fathers recover and adapt after childbirth. (The hospital chairs/beds can be harsh on the new father’s body!). This form of massage focuses on restoring the body, addressing specific areas of tension like the neck and shoulders, while promoting overall well-being and deep relaxation.
If looking for a Pregnancy specific massage, please book yourself in for a perinatal treatment specifically, so our RMTs can have the appropriate bolsters ready for you. All of our RMTs can incorporate Pre and Postnatal Massage techniques during your treatment.
