Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy massage, (also known as prenatal massage) is a nurturing massage that focuses on the special needs of mothers-to-be during pregnancy.  

Let stress and tension melt away

Pregnancy causes unique physical changes as your body adjusts to accommodate your growing baby.

This type of massage is a natural, touch therapy treatment aimed at alleviating these and other pregnancy related symptoms. We do not perform deep tissue massage on expectant mothers. 

  • Rizz, our certified and experienced pregnancy massage therapist, chooses safe and effective techniques for expectant mothers. 
  • Positioning, pillows and cushions are used to enhance support, decrease pressure and increase relaxation for both body and mind. 
  • Mother and baby share in the benefits as stress and tension melt away, leaving you feeling balanced and energised.

At Belmont Remedial Massage, prenatal massage is only performed after the first trimester. It is advised that you consult with your doctor to see if prenatal massage is right for you.

Taking time for yourself during pregnancy can be uplifting emotionally.
