What techniques do our pregnancy specialists use?
There are standard techniques used by all therapists that claim to do pregnancy massage, however our team as they are educated to university level are able to provide more advanced techniques that you won't find in standard clinics.
Standard Pre and Post Natal Massage Techniques:
Effluerage - Effleurage is a massage technique involving long, sweeping strokes that glide over the skin, often used to warm up muscles, stimulate blood flow and lymphatic flow and promote relaxation.
Petrissage - Petrissage is a massage technique that involves kneading, squeezing, and lifting the muscles to enhance circulation, reduce muscle tension, and improve overall muscle function.
Advanced Pre and Post Natal Massage Techniques:
Soft Tissue Release (STR) - Soft Tissue Release (STR) is a specific technique where we hold onto the muscle, in this case with our palm to avoid deep pressure, and gently extend the muscles. This helps to lengthen tight muscles in a nice relaxing way.
Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) - Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is a specific technique that targets specific areas of the muscle and their associated nerves to address pain, release muscle tension, and correct postural imbalances.

We recognise that your health and your baby's well-being are paramount, and making decisions about care can be daunting. That's why our knowledgeable team is here to support you with any questions or concerns you might have, ensuring you feel confident and informed every step of the way.
