Enjoy A Pampered Pregnancy Massage In Perth

If you’re a mother-to-be in the Perth area looking for relief from the stresses of pregnancy, look no further than Tara Massage. We offer specialist pregnancy massages tailored for you in Northwood that will leave you feeling lighter and more relaxed.

What’s Special About A Pregnancy Massage?

A pregnancy massage, also known as a prenatal massage, is designed for women in the second and third trimesters whose bodies are starting to change more and more each day, and with that comes a host of issues only pregnant women can understand. Whether it’s an aching back from carrying an extra load in your tummy region or swollen feet from the increased blood circulation and water retention, our team of specialists are here to massage you back into shape.

Many of the massages we offer here at Tara Massage involve deep tissue rubs, but our prenatal massage concentrates on gentler and smoother strokes to ease tension in various areas of the body, especially around your tummy. Areas away from where your precious baby is growing can become tense and need relief, so you can expect a little more pressure on the shoulders and feet which have the effect of relieving tension in your body as a whole.

Is It Safe To Have A Pregnancy Massage?

Yes, massage therapy for pregnancy has proven to be an effective way to relieve the aches, pains and stresses during this very special time in your life. Massages during the early days of pregnancy between 1 and 3 months are not recommended as the baby is just beginning to attach and any pressured movements could harm this process. This is especially true if there have been previous miscarriages or placental abruption during the early stages of pregnancy, so we advise waiting until the second trimester before booking in for a massage with us.

In the second and third trimester, between 3 and 9 months, your body is undergoing a lot of new changes which can result in any number of uncomfortable issues such as back pain, sciatica, headaches, heartburn, varicose veins and swelling in your ankles and hands. This is also a safer time to conduct a massage, so we’re more than happy to use our miracle working hands to give you the relaxation you really need at this time.

It’s in these later stages of pregnancy too that mothers can become irritable from the changes taking place in their body, and whether it’s the hormonal changes that cause you to feel fed up and down, or loss of sleep due to your larger stomach and aching muscles, a massage is going to help you feel much more relaxed, less stressed and ready for a good night’s sleep.

What Can A Pregnancy Massage Do For Me?

With all of the rapid changes taking place to your body in such a short space of time, the effects of pregnancy can affect women in all sorts of ways, and our prenatal massage aims to counter these effectively. By gently manipulating your body with careful hand movements a massage will increase circulation around the body which boosts blood flow, helping to relieve excessive swelling that can cause pain and discomfort.

A gentle massage with wonderfully scented oils also promotes your overall sense of wellbeing during pregnancy, especially when it comes to getting a good night’s sleep with relaxed muscles. Joints too are susceptible to pains during pregnancy with weight-bearing joints having to take on additional weight which can lead to cramps and back pain.

You aren’t able to exercise as effectively to keep these areas in good condition when you’re pregnant, so our prenatal massages aim to simulate that movement and get your joints feeling supple and flexible once again.
