What is a Pregnancy Massage?

A pregnancy massage is a specialized massage designed to provide relief and comfort to expectant mothers. It specifically addresses the physical changes and unique requirements experienced during pregnancy.

Benefits of Pregnancy Massage

This massage can effectively help relieve common pregnancy-related discomforts, such as:

  • Back pain

  • Neck and shoulder tension

  • Headaches

  • Sleep disturbances

  • Stress and anxiety

  • Swelling due to fluid retention

Additionally, pregnancy massage can enhance skin elasticity and overall well-being.

When Should Pregnancy Massage Be Avoided?

Although pregnancy massage offers numerous benefits, there are certain situations where it is not recommended:

  • Pregnancy complications (e.g., preterm labor or placental issues)

  • Existing health conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes

  • Presence of varicose veins or risk of thrombosis

It is advisable to consult with your doctor or midwife before scheduling a massage. We are also not offering a pregancy massage before the 12th week of pregnancy.

How is a Pregnancy Massage Performed?

Prior to the initial treatment, your therapist conducts a detailed consultation to understand your individual needs and any health concerns. The massage is performed in a comfortable position—often lying on the side—to ensure maximum comfort. Pressure and massage techniques are adjusted according to the stage of pregnancy and your personal comfort level.
