Pregnancy Massage
At Osteocure
Massage during pregnancy can be highly relaxing and have many therapeutic effects for mother and baby. Massage can give relief from the normal discomforts associated with pregnancy such as headaches, congestion, swollen ankles and feet and back ache.
Pregnancy Massage at Osteocure Clinic
Our pregnancy massages are delivered by our wonderful massage therapist Helen, who also has over 18 years experience working as a midwife.
Pregnancy massage is very safe for most mums-to-be - there may be some instances when massage therapy may not be suitable, such as during high-risk pregnancies or with certain health conditions such as pre eclampsia or gestational diabetes. Rest assured, we take a thorough case history prior to your appointment to ensure we understand you, your body & how we can best support you during your treatment.
At Osteocure, we have specific equipment suitable for expectant mothers even through the later stages of pregnancy, such as seated or raised massage. Pregnancy massage is available from the 12th week of pregnancy, after your first trimester is complete.
