There are many benefits of getting a pregnancy massage for expectant mothers and their babies. It promotes relaxation and bonding, soothes nerves and relieves strained and tired muscles. 

Pregnancy can cause muscular discomforts such as leg cramps, muscles stiffness and tension and knots. A massage improves circulation and stimulates blood flow to these areas, reducing discomfort and pain. Massage can also help improve sleep, reduces swelling and reduces stress and anxiety. 

It is generally safe to do pregnancy massage after the first trimester, but it is always advised to discuss this with your doctor or midwife first. We will always discuss with you any problem areas that you have and would like to focus on and also if there are any areas you would like to avoid. 

Our therapists are fully qualified in pregnancy massage.

Acupuncture has a general regulating effect on the body and can also help with: stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia and hormonal Imbalances  

How does it work?

It is not yet fully understood how acupuncture works, however scientific research and clinical evidence show that acupuncture has many effects on the nervous system and the muscles.
Local effects: Acupuncture produces many of its effects by stimulating the nerves, this can cause the local blood vessels to dilate, increasing blood flow to the area, which encourages tissue healing and reduces inflammation. 

Pain relief: Acupuncture has been shown to stimulate the body’s own pain suppressing mechanisms, releasing chemicals such as endorphins, serotonin and melatonin. It can reduce pain locally, where the needles are inserted and also throughout the body

Regulatory effects: Acupuncture has a general calming effect on many patients and improves their well-being and sleep. When the needles are inserted it has been shown to stimulate structures within the brain, that are in control of regulating the body’s functions, such as the hypothalamus.

Myofascial trigger points: When muscles are strained or overloaded, it can create small areas of damage that can take time to heal and cause persistent pain. Small knots or tight muscle fibres form (known as myofascial trigger points). Needling these points can inactivate them.
