Pregnancy warm oil massage
Generally suitable from 2nd trimester
Service Description
This soothing, nurturing oil massage is designed to support the physical and emotional strains of pregnancy while helping you deepen your connection with your baby. Suitable for all stages of pregnancy, the treatment is carried out in a comfortable side‑lying position with pillows and bolsters to ensure full support and ease throughout the session. The massage promotes deep relaxation and helps reduce stress and anxiety, creating a sense of calm and spaciousness in both body and mind. Gentle, rhythmic strokes help improve circulation, reduce swelling in the hands and feet, and support healthier respiration. The treatment also eases musculoskeletal tension, particularly in the back, hips, pelvis, and shoulders, areas that often carry the greatest load during pregnancy. Many people find that regular sessions improve sleep, enhance overall wellbeing, and offer a restorative pause during this time of profound change. Although pregnancy massage is generally safe and supportive, there are times when it should be avoided or postponed. Massage is not recommended during pregnancy complications such as vaginal bleeding, severe nausea or vomiting, pre‑eclampsia, uncontrolled high blood pressure, fever, acute infection, or unexplained abdominal pain. It should also be avoided in cases of deep vein thrombosis, severe swelling with sudden onset, or any condition where a healthcare provider has advised rest or monitoring. Caution is advised during the first trimester if the pregnancy is considered high‑risk, after recent medical procedures, or when there is significant discomfort lying on the side. In these situations, modifications may be needed, or treatment may be deferred until symptoms settle or medical guidance is obtained.
