PRENATAL / PREGNANCY MASSAGE

Prenatal massage is designed to relieve the discomfort and stress of pregnancy while making special adjustments to normal massage practice because of the changes pregnancy makes in the body. Care must be taken during the first trimester but Pregnancy Massage is beneficial throughout the whole pregnancy.

At Massage & Osteopathy our trained practitioners, use a combination of Swedish and Remedial Massage, to assist with the tensions and pains experienced during pregnancy, which are often caused by the extra weight and shift in the centre of gravity.
