Pregnancy brings many changes to the body — from posture shifts to muscle tension and general fatigue. Many expecting moms in Pretoria East choose pregnancy massage as a gentle, supportive way to relax and care for their bodies during this time.
Pregnancy massage is not the same as regular massage. It uses pregnancy-safe positioning, lighter pressure, and techniques adapted to each trimester.
This directory lists pregnancy massage therapists in Pretoria East who clearly state prenatal or pregnancy massage services on their websites or service pages.
Always confirm pregnancy availability and gestational requirements directly with the therapist.
What Is Pregnancy Massage?
Pregnancy massage (also called prenatal massage) is designed specifically for the pregnant body. Therapists adapt techniques to support comfort, circulation, and relaxation while avoiding pressure points and unsafe positions.
Pregnancy massage may help with:
-
lower back and hip discomfort
-
shoulder and neck tension
-
swelling in legs and feet
-
relaxation and stress relief
-
improved sleep quality
Sessions are typically done side-lying or with pregnancy support cushions.
When Is Pregnancy Massage Safe?
Most pregnancy massage therapists:
-
offer massage from the second trimester onwards
-
require medical clearance in certain cases
-
Adjust techniques depending on the trimester and comfort
Always inform your therapist how far along you are before booking.
