Pregnancy Massage — Benefits, Safety, and Where to Book in Soho

Pregnancy is an exciting and transformative time, but it can also bring physical discomforts such as backache, swollen legs, and general muscle tension.

Our sister clinic — Soho Beauty & Aesthetics — offers pregnancy massages. Our trained therapists provide safe and tailored care for expectant mothers.

What is Pregnancy Massage?

Pregnancy massage is a gentle, nurturing form of massage therapy designed specifically for expectant mothers. It focuses on relieving tension, reducing stress, and improving overall well-being during pregnancy. Therapists use specialised positioning and techniques to ensure both comfort and safety for mother and baby.

Benefits of Pregnancy Massage

• Relieves Back and Hip Pain — Supports changing posture and weight distribution.

• Reduces Swelling — Gentle movements help improve circulation and reduce fluid retention.

• Improves Sleep — Relaxation techniques encourage deeper, more restful sleep.

• Eases Stress & Anxiety — Creates a calming environment and lowers stress hormones.

• Promotes Better Posture — Helps muscles adapt to your changing body shape.

When is Pregnancy Massage Safe?

Pregnancy massage is generally safe after the first trimester, but it’s always recommended to consult your GP or midwife before booking. Professional therapists will adapt positioning and techniques depending on your stage of pregnancy and any specific needs or concerns.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

At Soho Beauty & Aesthetics, your comfort and safety come first:

• Supportive pillows and bolsters help you relax without pressure on your bump.

• Therapists use light-to-moderate pressure and avoid any trigger points that could cause discomfort.

• You’ll have the opportunity to discuss your needs before the treatment begins.

Alternatives and Complementary Care

While pregnancy massage is a great option for relaxation and relief, other gentle therapies such as osteopathy (for musculoskeletal alignment) or prenatal yoga can also help manage pregnancy-related discomforts.

FAQs

Can pregnancy massage induce labour?

When performed by a trained professional, pregnancy massage is safe and does not induce labour.

How often should I get a pregnancy massage?

Many expectant mothers benefit from treatments every 2–4 weeks, but frequency depends on personal comfort and needs.

Do I need to bring anything to my appointment?

Just wear comfortable clothing and bring any notes from your midwife or doctor if you have special considerations.

Can I have a pregnancy massage in the first trimester?

Most therapists recommend waiting until the second trimester to begin pregnancy massage, as the body is adjusting to early pregnancy changes. Always consult your GP or midwife before booking.
