Pregnancy Massage         Ph:9971 3112

The major changes a woman's body undergoes during a normal pregnancy can be supported by regular massage. Your whole body adjusts as the new life within you develops. There will be new stresses and strains as your pregnancy progresses. Massage can alleviate many of the discomforts associated with pregnancy.

 Offering relief from lower back pain, shoulder tension, joint aches and even stretch marks, prenatal massage is useful during the 9 months of a low risk pregnancy. It incorporates specific light and deep tissue massage, acupressure, foot massage, myofascial release and others. Taking the weight of your feet is a welcome break. You should check in with your doctor before seeking a treatment. 

The many benefits of Pregnancy Massage for you are:

• some pain relief for your muscles, tendons and joints that must support your increasing weight and changing shape. Improved circulation will also enhance their functioning.
• makes you more flexible as your figure changes.
• help alleviating the typical digestive difficulties that arise during pregnancy. Problems such as reflux, gas and constipation.
• a decrease fluid retention by gently stimulating your lymphatic system pushing this excess back into your cirulation.
• impeding the development of varicose veins by reducing blood pressure 
• enabling you to relax and feel nurtured during your term.
• helping release headaches resulting that may be caused by stress and constipation
• promoting more restful sleep for you.

Making your massage very comfortable is our specifically designed pregnancy massage table. As appropriate for the stage and condition of your pregnancy, our special table allows you to lie on your belly, while  fully supporting you. It is not always necessary for you to be side lying, propped up by many pillows. The feedback we have from many mothers to be is incredible. Some go to sleep for the duration of their massage as this is their natural sleeping position. Others comment that their waist has returned while lying belly down. Try it to feel the difference. You need a minimum of an hour for us to work through all your muscles and jopints, but one and a half hours is ideal.

Health fund rebates are available as this is a Remedial Massage. For selected funds HICAPS is available so you only pay the balance after your rebate is deducted.
