Pregnancy Massage in Perth

Massage is one of the oldest forms of therapeutic healing, a practice that transcends cultures, centuries, and disciplines. At its core, massage is both an art and a science—a powerful combination of intuition and technique designed to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

The Purpose of Massage

Massage is more than the application of pressure to the body; it is a holistic therapy aimed at relieving tension, restoring balance, and enhancing circulation. The practice can address a variety of needs, from managing pain and stress to improving flexibility and promoting emotional healing. At its foundation, massage provides a safe, nurturing space for the body to heal itself.

Every pregnant woman deserves some nurturing, and massage is a wonderful way to reduce stress and promote general wellbeing.

Massage can be received during all three trimesters of your pregnancy for both normal and high-risk pregnancies with a fully trained therapist.

With the exciting news that you are pregnant, your body is about to undergo many changes.  Some of the consequences of these changes can leave a woman feeling sore, tired and uncomfortable.

 

Massage is such a great way to relieve this discomfort through the positive effects of soft tissue manipulation.

I get lots of people ask me if pregnancy massage is safe, and here is an article I wrote about what is safe, and what is not:

PREGNANCY MASSAGE – IS IT SAFE?

 

There are so many benefits of pregnancy massage, which include:

• Alleviate pregnancy discomforts like back pain and pelvic tension.
• Reduces joint pain.
• Helps muscles and joints become more flexible in preparation for growing baby and birth.
• Prepare the pelvic ligaments, especially those surrounding the sacrum, to enhance flexibility and durability.
• Releases tension in piriformis, which may be triggering sciatica.
• Improves circulation and relaxation for both mum and baby.
• Supports postural alignment.
• Gain insights into pelvic alignment and its role in childbirth.
• Reduces stress, anxiety and tension.
• Improves sleep quality.

 

I really believe that all women should nurture themselves with massage during all stages of their lives which means before pregnancy, during pregnancy and postnatally. The release of endorphins during treatment really does offer so many benefits such as relaxation, stress relief, energy boosting and mind/body connection.

Pregnancy massage offers a holistic approach to supporting physical health, emotional wellbeing, and preparation for labour, making it a highly beneficial practice for expectant mothers.

Please take some time out to nurture your mind, body and emotions.

Due to a serious injury I sustained where I snapped my humerus in half, had to have surgery and a titanium plate and ongoing physio, I am unable to offer massage at the moment, but here are some qualified pregnancy massage therapists in Perth who I recommend:
