Best at-home Prenatal Massage Near You

A prenatal massage is a special form of massage therapy that is exclusive to women in their second and third trimesters.

A foot massage can help to relieve any pain or pressure you may be experiencing, however, you should consult your health care professional before you book a foot massage during pregnancy. With all that added pressure, you might be experiencing some fluid retention (oedema) or swelling in the feet and ankles. An increase in blood volume can also cause of swelling in the legs. To ensure that a foot massage is safe for you, speak to your doctor before you book a massage during pregnancy.

The biggest difference between pregnancy massage vs deep tissue massage is that pregnancy massage is a relaxing, soothing massage instead of an intense form of therapy. Your massage therapist will tailor their pressure to suit your pregnancy massage to ensure they are eliminating any tightness or soreness you may be experiencing. Deep tissue massage may be too strong for pregnancy.

Ensure that you and bub are well hydrated prior to your prenatal massage. Eat something light no less than two hours prior to your massage. Blys mobile therapists will do the rest, so you can enjoy a home prenatal massage in comfort and security.

While all massage therapists on the Blys platform are qualified and experienced in a range of massage therapies, there are some who specialise in prenatal massage. Most women who request a prenatal massage prefer a female prenatal massage therapist. This is an entirely personal choice. You need a prenatal massage therapist you can trust and feel comfortable with to look after your body during this delicate time. All massage therapists provided by Blys are thoroughly vetted, so rest assured that all therapists on the Blys platform are knowledgable and experienced.

Mobile therapists provided by Blys will bring a table, pillows and blankets to your home pregnancy massage – you don’t have to worry about a thing! Prenatal massages require the expecting mum to lie on her side on the table while pillows are used to cradle the belly. This maximises the comfort of both mum and baby. Massage therapists on the Blys platform do not use massage tables with centre cut-outs because allowing the belly to dangle during massage can cause stretching and discomfort. Lying sideways on whichever side you prefer is the most beneficial during your home prenatal massage.

If you’re booking a massage when pregnant, a specialised prenatal massage will maximise the benefits you receive from massage therapy. Prenatal massage is tailored to expecting mums, complete with pillows, blankets and a table to ensure maximum security and comfort for mum and bub. It is the best form of massage when pregnant.

You will be glowing! A home prenatal massage is an ultimate indulgence for those hard-working mums-to-be, so your Blys massage therapist will ensure that you are relaxed and rejuvenated. A home prenatal massage maximises comfort and minimises effort, so you can rest assured knowing that you’re feeling good and rewarding yourself with no stress whatsoever.

Prenatal massage is only recommended to expecting mums in their second and third trimesters. The first trimester is the most sensitive time for baby’s development and so we do not offer prenatal massage therapy during this particularly delicate time. You should always consult your health care profession when seeking pregnancy relief methods.

There are many benefits of prenatal massage, including a relief from pain and soreness, decrease in stiffness, increase in mobility and a general pampering session. Many women choose pregnancy massage to help them target the unique aches and pains that pregnancy introduces. The benefits of prenatal massage also extend to your mental wellbeing as massage can reduce stress and anxiety as well.

As this period is a very delicate time for a woman’s body, there are some risks of pregnancy massage. If you are carrying more than one child, have experienced any pregnancy complications (including in previous pregnancies), experience any other adverse health conditions, you must always consult your health care professional prior to booking a prenatal massage. Prenatal massage is not offered to women in their first trimester as this is the most sensitive time for baby’s development.
