Pregnancy & post natal massage
My therapeutic and relaxing treatments provide the perfect preparation for childbirth, supporting mums-to-be both physically and emotionally. This safe and supportive therapy is a gentle and calming treatment giving you the time to relax and connect with your baby. I can also work more deeply with you to provide significant pain relief at this special time particularly in treating common ailments during and after pregnancy including;
- Back, hip and pelvic girdle pain
- Sciatica
- Neck and Shoulder pain
- Headaches
- Cramping
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Oedema
- Circulatory and respiratory benefits
- Reduce stress levels and calm anxiety
To make you feel fully comfortable I will work with you in the side-lying position using pillows and bolsters to support neck, bump and knees. You will be covered with towels and blankets, with only the body part that is being worked on exposed.
Following the birth, post-natal massage can help the body to recover and re-balance and provide a peaceful, calm and nurturing experience.
The initial session includes a thorough consultation, after-care advice is also given. Treatments are available from16 weeks to full term.
“I’ve seen Paula through both my pregnancies, her treatments have been amazing in easing hip pain and helping me understand my changing body. Paula is a kind and sensitive therapist, she really listened to how I was feeling which helped me relax. I always left feeling so much calmer. Post-birth, they were such a precious time-out from the demands of a new baby. I never wanted to leave!”
