1. Is it safe to have a massage while pregnant?

Yes. Yes. Yes. A pregnancy massage is perfect for mums who are yearning to feel nurtured, pampered and relaxed through their time of pregnancy. Our mums-to-be focused massage therapy focuses on delivering with a gentle approach – soothing body aches with light to medium pressure. “It is important to make sure your massage therapist is properly trained in pregnancy/ prenatal massage. Technique and expertise in this particular area of service are vital to ensure the utmost safety and security for when you’re receiving a massage. We recommend you book in a qualified and certified masseuse, particularly physiotherapists who have a much well-rounded knowledge base on the body.

2. What do you do in a pregnancy massage?

Usually, a gentle massage, pregnancy massage or prenatal massage is used to reduce muscle tension and swelling throughout the body. To relieve muscle and joint pain in pregnant women with a mix of lymphatic drainage massage and Swedish relaxation massage techniques. Perfect to melt away any aches you may be experiencing on your journey, it’s no different to any other relaxation massage. Did you know that with pregnancy massages, many health and massage professionals recommend a side-lying position for pregnant women during a massage? (2). However, for those who would rather lie in a different position, cut out table alternatives and pillows can be used.

With Purely Polished, each of our massage therapists bring their own little twist of love to their delivery. From heated blankets to music, robes and smell (candles, diffusers) – our community of professionals are here to bring you a big bundle of love.

3. How many weeks pregnant can you get a massage?

For mothers in their first trimester, we advise going talk to your doctor before you have a pregnancy massage. “Common misconception and myths that pregnant women should not receive a massage in the first trimester have been addressed by the AAMT with its decision agreeing to first-trimester massage – but only if it is undertaken by a trained pregnancy massage practitioner.” (3). Communication is key during prenatal massages, so please do ensure open communication with your massage therapist during service. Briefings about your symptoms are usually discussed prior to your massage. Letting your therapist know about your area of concern, as well as other aches you may be feeling will help target techniques effectively.

4. What massage is best for pregnancy?

At Purely Polished we provide a range of different massages – ready upon request. From a deep tissue remedial massage or a Swedish relaxation massage – we alter to service a bespoke service to ensure safety and comfort. If you’re not convinced and are still unsure about getting a massage, we want to remind you that you’re not bound by a ‘whole-body’ massage. Foot massages, shoulder and neck massages, hand and arm massages are all still valid and liberating.
