Mother and Bump

Do I have to have a series of sessions or can I have just a one off treatment?

To gain the best results from your Postnatal Massage sessions, it is beneficial to be treated over a period of time. We offer Postnatal Package Deals which are fantastic for the first 6 six weeks of the postnatal period, please Click here to find out more.  However there are still benefits to booking a one of treatment, this provides you with an excellent time out for you to just relax the mind and body and to simply rest.

 Mother & Bump Massage are happy to work with whatever your needs may be.

How soon after birth can I receive a treatment?

There is no real time scale as to when you can receive a treatment; it is totally up to you. You may feel well enough even a few days after birth, or you may wish to leave it for a couple of weeks. It is entirely your decision. We do carry out a full Health Consultation prior to your treatment to assess your specific needs for treatment.

How will I be positioned for the treatment?

Positioning is dependent on which stage in the postnatal period you are in and also on which type of birth you have experienced.

How will the Therapist know my needs?

A Health Consultation will be carried out by your Therapist prior to beginning any treatment. During which your needs for the treatment will be established, and  your treatment will be catered towards those specific needs. All information disclosed to your therapist will be treated with the strictest confidence. 

What are the most common benefits of a treatment?

• Relaxes muscular tension within the lower and upper back, shoulders, and neck.

Mother & Baby Massage Session - Part 1 (babies less than 3 months)

During a Mother & Baby Massage Session, we look at containment and helping your baby relax into his/her new environment. Babies in the first few weeks of life are overstimulated by their environment and the amount of handling that takes place. We personally do not advise mothers with babies in the first 3 months to take part in a programme that entails a full body routine. Instead we devise a programme that will be tailored to your babies’ individual needs.

The session is split between you and your baby, and lasts 60 minutes;  45 minutes Postnatal Massage for you and, a 15 minute Baby Massage.  This runs throughout 2 sessions over 2 hours. For more information click here
