Benefits of Pregnancy Massage: Supporting You Through Every Trimester
Pregnancy is a beautiful journey — but it can also come with its fair share of aches, fatigue, and emotional ups and downs.
At JT Artistry in Carindale, our pregnancy massage treatments are tailored to support expecting mums with safe, nurturing care designed to ease tension and promote wellbeing for both mum and bub.
What is a Prenatal Massage?
A prenatal (or pregnancy) massage is a specialised treatment designed specifically for pregnant women. Using gentle, supportive techniques, we focus on areas that typically carry extra tension during pregnancy — such as the lower back, hips, legs, and shoulders — while ensuring your comfort and safety at all times.
Key Benefits of Pregnancy Massage
1. Relieves Aches and Pains
As your baby grows, your body adapts — and that often means sore backs, tight hips and tired feet. Massage helps release muscular tension and improves flexibility to support your changing body.
2. Reduces Swelling
Pregnancy massage boosts lymphatic flow and circulation, helping to reduce fluid retention in the feet, legs, and hands.
3. Improves Sleep Quality
A relaxing massage encourages deep rest and helps calm the nervous system — just what you need during restless nights.
4. Enhances Mood & Reduces Anxiety
Prenatal massage is known to reduce stress hormones and promote the release of feel-good endorphins, leaving you emotionally lighter and more grounded.
5. Prepares the Body for Labour
By supporting pelvic alignment and reducing muscle tension, pregnancy massage may help the body prepare for a smoother birthing experience.
Is it Safe?
Yes — our qualified massage therapist is experienced in prenatal care and will ensure all treatments are tailored to your stage of pregnancy and medical history. We generally recommend starting massage after the first trimester, unless advised otherwise by your healthcare provider.
