What Is Maternity Massage?
Pregnancy is a time of constant change, both physically and emotionally.
As your body adapts, shifts in posture and weight can place additional strain on your back, hips, shoulders, and legs. It is common to experience tension, swelling, fatigue, and general discomfort throughout pregnancy.
Maternity Massage is a specialised treatment designed to support your body safely during this time. It focuses on easing physical strain while helping you feel more comfortable, relaxed, and supported as your pregnancy progresses.
This treatment may help to:
- Relieve muscular tension and soothe areas of discomfort
- Encourage healthy circulation and reduce fluid retention
- Support comfort and gentle movement
- Promote relaxation and overall wellbeing
Every pregnancy is unique. Whether you are experiencing back discomfort, swollen ankles, tiredness, or simply need time to rest, the aim is to help you feel cared for and more at ease.
Expert Care You Can Trust
Your wellbeing, and your baby’s safety, are central to every treatment we provide.
At our Canning Town centre, all maternity massages are carried out by therapists trained in pre-natal and post-natal care. They understand the changes your body goes through during pregnancy and know how to adapt each treatment to ensure it is safe, comfortable, and effective.
You can feel confident knowing you are in experienced hands.
Your Comfort: The Maternity Pillow
We know that finding a comfortable position during pregnancy can be challenging. Our treatment set-up is designed to support you fully.
We use a specially designed maternity pillow that allows you to lie comfortably on your side, with your bump, legs, and head supported.
This positioning ensures you feel secure and relaxed, while allowing your therapist to work effectively on areas such as your back, hips, and shoulders.
