Pregnancy Massage
(60 mins £45/90 mins £60)
Massage therapy, in most cases, is safe for both the mother and baby to receive at any stage of pregnancy. As with all clients, a thorough case history is taken and monitored throughout the course of the treatment.
Massage during pregnancy can help you to relax and connect with your body and baby. Additionally birth partners are invited to join in the later stages to learn massage techniques to give the mother during labour and delivery.
During early stages of pregnancy the treatment can take place on the massage couch as usual, either laying face down or on the side. As the pregnancy progresses many women have found it extremely comfortable to have their treatment sitting on a special massage chair which offers full support to the body with no pressure on the baby bump whilst allowing full access for back, neck, shoulder, head and arm massage.
For those wanting full body massage as far into the pregnancy as possible, a floor futon may be used to allow maximum comfort and space for the treatment to take place.
Pregnancy Massage is available with Natalie at the Ananda Clinic in Tonbridge. Please call Natalie on 07932 726 802 to discuss whether pregnancy massage is suitable for you.
This fantastic Pregnancy Calendar shows amazing images of the developing foetus from conception to full term. Best watched as a video rather than stills in my opinion, fascinating!
