PREGNANCY MASSAGE

Pregnancy massage is a therapy used for relaxation as well as support for a woman’s body during the whole stage of their pregnancy. As the woman’s body adapts to the growing baby, various symptoms of discomfort or pain may arise: sore joints/muscles, oedema, back pain, fatigue/headaches, neuropathies (tingling/numbness in limbs).

At Holistic Acupuncture we use therapeutic bodywork to bring you into your body helping you feel relaxed and at ease, as well as connecting you with your baby. All treatments commence with a herbal foot soak, followed by a 60-minute massage using a specially handcrafted oil designed to relieve itching and discomfort associated with a growing belly. The massage is performed in the side-lying position (which is the most recommended position, especially in late pregnancy) for your utmost safety and comfort, with plenty of supportive pillows and extra padding.

Please allow an additional 10 minutes for initial consult.
