Pregnancy is a time of great change. The body gradually adapts to growing baby, posture changes, the center of gravity shifts forward and the lumbar spine, pelvis and lower limbs take on more weight. Back tension, a feeling of heavy legs, swelling or fatigue often occur even during normal daily activities.
Pregnancy massage helps the body to relax and create space for greater comfort throughout pregnancy. We focus on releasing muscle tension in the back, hips, pelvis and legs. We also support circulation and reduce swelling in the lower extremities.
We always adapt the massage to the woman's current needs and the stage of pregnancy. It is most often performed in a side position or in another position that is comfortable and safe at the time. The techniques used are gentle, sensitive and respect the changes that the woman's body is going through.
Breathwork is also part of the treatment. Calm and conscious breathing helps to release tension, support proper pelvic floor function, and bring a greater sense of peace and security. At the beginning and end of the treatment, there is space to slow down, relax, and become aware of your own body.
Pregnancy massage is not just about physical relief. For many women, it is also a moment of pause, regeneration, and gentle connection to themselves and their baby.
After a massage, women often describe a feeling of lightness, relaxation, and a pleasant feeling of feeling good in their bodies again.
