Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy Massage in Coventry at Almond Tree Holistic Therapies Clinic by a Qualified Massage Therapist.
Pregnancy massage is a gentle, relaxing treatment, suitable after the first trimester, which aims to support the mother’s body at a time when it is experiencing many changes.
This soothing treatment begins with a short consultation to discuss your medical history, ensuring the massage is suitable for you and allowing me to tailor it to your specific needs.
Once lying in a comfortable position, you will be covered with warm towels, and the massage will begin with gentle flowing movements, relaxing the back, shoulders, arms 
and legs. You may choose to have the massage with one of a selection of oils, all being suitable for use during pregnancy. A popular choice is the Neal’s Yard Organic Mother’s Massage Oil - an especially nourishing massage oil for new mothers and all mothers-to-be. This nourishing oil with organic soya and almond helps to tone the skin and prevent stretch marks. Soft music and candles create a peaceful environment and you may find yourself drifting off to sleep as the treatment progresses.
Additional movements may be used during the massage to help relieve any problems we may have discussed during the consultation, assisting with symptoms such as morning sickness, leg cramps, lower back pain or shortness of breath.
Pregnancy massage may help:
- Relieve aches and pains - releasing muscle tension in the back, shoulders and hips, easing sciatica and symptoms of SPD (Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction).
- Stimulate the circulation and encourage lymphatic drainage.
-
Prevent varicose veins developing.
-
Encourage deeper breathing.
-
Reduce fatigue, stress and anxiety.
- Assist with sluggish bowel movement.
-
Can help lower blood pressure or keep higher blood pressure more balanced.
-
Improve sleep and encourage deeper relaxation.
-
Encourage release of oxytocin.
Research shows that massage can also benefit the developing baby by encouraging the production of ‘feel good’ endorphins in the mother, which pass on to the baby.
After the massage, you will be encouraged to relax and rest for a few minutes, before being offered a refreshing drink.
