Pregnancy Massage

What is Pregnancy Massage?

Pregnancy massage is a specialised form of remedial massage designed to support your changing body throughout pregnancy.

As your body adapts to support your growing baby, it’s common to experience muscle tension, joint discomfort, changes in posture and increased physical demands. Pregnancy massage uses carefully adapted positioning and treatment techniques to help you stay comfortable while prioritising the safety and wellbeing of both you and your baby.

At Peak Motion Therapy, every treatment is tailored to your stage of pregnancy, your symptoms and your comfort. Specialised pregnancy positioning allows you to relax comfortably while supporting both you and your baby throughout your treatment.


How can it help?

Pregnancy massage may help with:

Lower back and pelvic discomfort

Many women also choose pregnancy massage simply as an opportunity to slow down, relax and enjoy some well-deserved time for themselves during this unique stage of life.


What happens during treatment?

Your appointment begins with a discussion about how your pregnancy has been progressing, any symptoms you’re experiencing and your treatment goals.

You’ll be positioned comfortably using specialised pregnancy cushions and side-lying positioning where appropriate, allowing you to relax while supporting both your comfort and safety throughout your treatment.

Pregnancy massage generally uses lighter, more considered pressure than a standard remedial massage. As pregnancy-related hormonal changes can influence how your body responds to treatment, firmer pressure is not always necessary to achieve a therapeutic effect. We’ll communicate throughout your appointment and adjust positioning, pressure and techniques to suit how you’re feeling on the day.

Your appointment also allows extra time for comfortable positioning, gentle transitions and ensuring you remain well supported throughout your treatment.

Where appropriate, your treatment may also include simple movement advice or practical strategies to help you feel more comfortable between appointments.


What can I expect afterwards?

Many women report feeling more relaxed, comfortable and able to move more freely following treatment.

Because pregnancy massage uses a gentler approach, significant post-treatment soreness is not generally expected. However, some temporary tenderness may still occur, particularly in areas that were already tight or sensitive. This is usually mild and settles quickly.

We’ll also discuss simple strategies that may help manage common pregnancy discomforts and support you between treatments. As your pregnancy progresses, your treatment can be adapted to meet your changing needs.
