Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy Massage in Chatswood

Pregnancy massage is one of our specialties at Feel Amazing Wellness Centre in Chatswood. We have been providing pregnancy massage for many years and regularly work with women throughout all stages of pregnancy, from conception through to birth.

Pregnancy massage is tailored to the unique changes that occur in the body during pregnancy. Treatment focuses on helping reduce physical discomfort, encouraging relaxation, and helping you feel more comfortable and at ease as your body changes over time.

What Makes Our Pregnancy Massage Different

We use specialty pregnancy cushions designed to properly support the pregnant body during treatment, allowing most women to lie comfortably either face down or on their side throughout pregnancy. This provides additional support for the pelvis, lower back and growing abdomen, while also allowing your therapist to treat the body more comfortably and effectively.

We have invested in this equipment because it makes a significant difference to both comfort and treatment quality. Many women are surprised by how comfortable they feel during their massage, even later in pregnancy.

Who is Pregnancy Massage For?

Pregnancy massage is for anyone at any stage of pregnancy who would benefit from hands-on care.

• Lower back, hip or pelvic discomfort
• Neck and shoulder tension
• Leg cramps or swelling
• General aches and pains as your body adapts to pregnancy
• Fatigue, both physical and mental
• Difficulty sleeping or finding a comfortable position
• Stress or anxiety during pregnancy

Even if you are not experiencing specific discomfort, pregnancy massage can provide valuable time to slow down, relax and support your body through a physically and emotionally demanding time.

What Happens in a Pregnancy Massage Session

Your therapist will ask about your stage of pregnancy, any areas of concern, how you are feeling and any health considerations. You will be positioned comfortably using our specialty cushion system so you can lie safely.

The massage is tailored to your individual needs using gentle to moderate pressure. Your therapist will focus on the areas that need the most attention while being mindful of the specific considerations that come with treating during pregnancy.

Is Pregnancy Massage Safe?

Current evidence supports pregnancy massage throughout pregnancy when provided by a qualified practitioner experienced in pregnancy care.

As with any treatment during pregnancy, if you have underlying health concerns or a high-risk pregnancy, we recommend discussing treatment with your midwife, obstetrician or doctor before booking.

What to Expect After Your Session

Most women feel noticeably more relaxed and physically comfortable after a pregnancy massage. Many also notice reduced muscle tension, improved ease of movement and a greater sense of overall relaxation.

• Drink plenty of water
• Take it easy for the rest of the day if possible
• Let your therapist know how you felt at your next appointment

Preparing for Birth

Acupuncture and acupressure are sometimes used in the later stages of pregnancy to help support relaxation and prepare the body for birth. Treatment is generally recommended from around week 35 onwards. We often work with midwives who are familiar with the benefits of this treatment. Read more about pregnancy acupuncture and induction

Post-Birth Care

Caring for a baby places new physical demands on the body through feeding, carrying, lifting and interrupted sleep. Our practitioners are here to help support your comfort and recovery during the postnatal period.

We also love to hear how it went and catch up with your news when you return for postnatal treatments.
