Our professionally trained massage therapists will help you to restore your body to its optimum balance; with firm pressure to reach deep layers of muscle and connective tissue, breaking down “knots” (muscle adhesions) to increase circulation and reduce inflammation.

Is pregnancy massage safe?
The NHS states that pregnancy massage is one of the safe complementary therapies you can use during pregnancy.
The main issue is that there is a large variation in the training and skill of the therapist. Choose a reputable provider, like Reach Physio, for a professional and safe pregnancy massage.
It is advised to avoid pregnancy massage in your first trimester, particularly if you have a history of miscarriages. A reputable therapist will not undertake massage on pregnant women in their first trimester. There is no scientific evidence that proves massage can trigger miscarriage, but it’s a sensible precaution to take.
You should also avoid pregnancy massage if you’re suffering particularly badly with sickness or nausea. You should also avoid pregnancy massage if you are considered at high risk of placental abruption or premature labour.
If you’re in doubt about whether pregnancy massage is safe for you, speak to your midwife, GP or obstetrician.
