PREGNANCY & POSTPARTUM MASSAGE THERAPY

Nurture. Support. Restore.

Pregnancy & Postpartum Massage Therapy is a gentle, restorative treatment designed to support the body through the physical and emotional changes of pregnancy and the recovery period after birth. Grounded in remedial massage principles and tailored to each stage, this treatment provides relief from discomfort while creating a calm space for rest and reconnection.

With specialised positioning and supportive techniques, the treatment helps ease muscular tension, reduce swelling, and encourage nervous system relaxation—supporting both mother and baby during pregnancy, and promoting healing and recovery in the postpartum period.

SUPPORT DURING PREGNANCY

As the body adapts to the growing baby, changes in posture, circulation, and hormone levels can lead to discomfort and fatigue. This treatment is carefully tailored to each trimester to ensure comfort and safety while addressing common concerns.

Benefits During Pregnancy

  • Relief from back, neck, and shoulder pain

  • Reduction of hip and pelvic discomfort

  • Decreased swelling in the legs, ankles, and hands

  • Support for lymphatic flow and circulation

  • Easing of muscular tension and postural strain

  • Improved sleep and relaxation

  • Encouragement of nervous system regulation

Side-lying positioning with supportive cushions ensures a safe and comfortable experience throughout the session.

SUPPORT DURING THE POSTPARTUM PERIOD

The postpartum period is a time of profound physical and emotional adjustment. Whether recovering from a vaginal birth or caesarean section, this treatment supports healing, replenishment, and reconnection with the body.

Benefits During Postpartum

  • Relief from neck and shoulder tension associated with feeding and carrying

  • Support for abdominal and pelvic recovery

  • Reduction of fluid retention and swelling

  • Assistance with lymphatic flow and circulation

  • Gentle support for caesarean scar tissue (once fully healed)

  • Encouragement of rest and emotional wellbeing

  • A nurturing space for self-care and restoration

A HOLISTIC APPROACH

This treatment recognises the deep connection between the body and the nervous system. By creating a calm and supportive environment, it allows the body to shift into a restorative state where healing can occur naturally.

Each session is thoughtfully tailored and may incorporate a blend of:

  • Remedial massage techniques to relieve muscular tension

  • Myofascial release to address connective tissue restriction

  • Manual lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling and support detoxification

  • Gentle scar therapy for caesarean recovery (when appropriate)

  • Nervous system-focused techniques to encourage deep relaxation

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR SESSION

Your treatment is delivered in a quiet, private environment designed to promote comfort and relaxation. Supportive pillows and side-lying positioning ensure safety throughout pregnancy, while postpartum sessions are adapted to your individual recovery needs.

The session is unhurried, allowing time for the body to soften and restore. Many clients experience a deep sense of calm and renewed connection following their treatment.
