Massage during pregnancy not only feels good, it has many therapeutic benefits for both mum and baby. Touch helps nurture mum as her body is changed, challenged and stressed in many ways. It can also give great relief from the normal discomforts associated with pregnancy such as back ache, stiff neck, leg cramps, headache and sinus congestion relief, oedema and swollen ankles and feet.
Pregnancy Massage is both safe and effective for the majority of mothers-to-be. You can start at any point in pregnancy, including up to and past your due date in healthy pregnancies. There are some instances when massage may not be appropriate, particularly in a high-risk pregnancy or with certain health conditions (such as pre eclampsia or gestational diabetes for example), so we always advise checking with your doctor or midwife first.
