Pregnancy & Postnatal Massage in Guildford
Pregnancy massage can be a lovely way to ease muscular tension, support comfort and make time for yourself as your body changes throughout pregnancy.
At Guildford Chiropractic Centre, our pregnancy massage is tailored to your stage of pregnancy, symptoms and comfort, with specialist positioning and techniques designed to help you relax and feel supported.
What can pregnancy massage help with?
Pregnancy can bring new areas of tension and discomfort as your body changes. Massage may help you feel more comfortable and relaxed, particularly if you're experiencing:
-
Lower back and hip tension
-
Pelvic and gluteal discomfort
-
Upper-back, neck and shoulder tension
-
Rib and muscular discomfort
-
General muscular aches and stiffness
-
The physical tension and stress that can build during pregnancy
Treatment is always adapted to your individual needs rather than following a set routine.
Specialist pregnancy massage from Hannah
Pregnancy massage requires more than simply adapting a standard massage. Hannah Bellamy is a Level 6 Clinical Massage Therapist with additional specialist training in pregnancy and postnatal massage.
Your treatment is adapted to your stage of pregnancy, symptoms and comfort, including appropriate positioning and support throughout your appointment.
What to expect during your appointment
Before your massage, Hannah will discuss your stage of pregnancy, any symptoms or concerns, and what you'd like from your treatment.
Your positioning and the massage techniques used will be adapted throughout the appointment to keep you comfortable and well supported.
If there are any concerns about whether massage is appropriate for you, we'll discuss this with you and may recommend speaking with your GP or midwife before treatment.
Is pregnancy massage safe?
Pregnancy massage is safe throughout pregnancy when it is provided by a suitably trained therapist and adapted to the individual.
Before treatment, we'll discuss your stage of pregnancy, relevant health considerations and any concerns you may have. Your position, pressure and techniques will be adapted to keep you comfortable.
If you're unsure whether pregnancy massage is appropriate for you, we're happy to advise you.
Postnatal massage
After having a baby, your body continues to adapt. Feeding, carrying, lifting and the demands of caring for a newborn can leave your back, neck, shoulders and hips feeling tired and tense.
Postnatal massage is tailored to your stage of recovery and can provide some much-needed time to relax, while focusing on areas that are feeling uncomfortable or overworked.
If you've recently given birth, we'll discuss your individual circumstances before treatment and adapt your appointment accordingly.
