Pregnancy Massage
Recommended: 30m - £40 | 60m - £60 | 90m - £90
Pregnancy brings a wide range of physical, emotional, and weight changes that can lead to various discomforts.
These often manifest as aches, pains, and muscle tension, commonly felt in the lower back, buttocks, legs, and pelvic area. Such discomfort can even cause referred pain elsewhere in the body, like sciatica. Additionally, fluid retention and swelling (edema) can build up in the ankles and wrists, while hormonal changes can trigger mood swings and irritability.
The physical demands of pregnancy can elevate cortisol levels, leading to stress and anxiety. Massage offers a holistic approach to support these natural hormonal shifts and the increased physical demands on the body. GEM uses heated oils and supportive pillows to enhance comfort during the massage, aiming to alleviate these symptoms by providing a highly relaxing and caring massage tailored to each individual.
Evidence shows that prenatal massage helps expectant mothers achieve overall well-being and more restorative sleep, empowering them to embrace their pregnancy journey.
GEM's pressure depends on the client's preference, but generally, in prenatal massage, GEM uses light, flowing massage strokes. These incorporate pain-release techniques around the neck, shoulders, upper back, head, and feet, often utilizing point therapy.
Prenatal Massage is generally avoided until after the 12-13 weeks of pregnancy. GEM can offer healing with touch instead. Please contact GEM for more information.
