pregnancy massage in Islington using a bean bag

Your relaxing pregnancy massage will take place at The Bodywork Studio in Highbury, on the bump bag pregnancy bean bag, a specially designed bean bag for pregnancy, which allows you to lie face down safely and comfortably. Lying in this way takes the strain off your back, neck and shoulders and safely supports your bump.

Pregnancy massage is safe from your second trimester right up to your due date. I've seen clients who are at their due date and who have gone a little over their due date. It's especially beneficial towards the end of pregnancy as it may help you feel calmer and more comfortable.

The main focus of the massage is the back, neck and shoulders, as these are the most common areas of discomfort. Pressure on these areas is deeper but will not cause discomfort.

The benefits include helping to ease tight muscles in the back, neck and shoulders and can improving circulation in the legs and feet. My clients report that they often sleep better after a massage, as well as feeling less tension and pain in the shoulders and hips.
