Pregnancy Massage - Most people enjoy human touch and particularly during pregnancy a touch can convey comfort, awareness and also help alleviate aches and pains.
All of these are of benefit, especially when you are pregnant.
Benefits of Pregnancy Massage include:
• Tranquil relaxation and stress reduction.
• Relief from muscle cramps and spasms, particularly in the lower back, neck, hips, and legs.
• Increase in blood and lymph circulation, which can reduce swelling.
• Reduces stress on weight-bearing joints.
• Improves outcome of labour and eases labour pain.
• Provides support for the new mother with physical and emotional strains of mothering.
Massage during pregnancy differs from a regular massage in a couple of ways. The biggest way it differs is that the person receiving the massage is pregnant, and therefore knowledge of pregnancy and the anatomy of a pregnant woman are very important. This means that positioning during a massage is critical to the safety and well-being of both the mother and the baby she is carrying. There are also parts of the body that should not be massaged.
Massage is beneficial for almost everyone. Even women carrying multiples babies can benefit greatly from massage.
How does pregnancy massage differ from regular massage?
The mother's body must be properly positioned and supported during the massage, using pillows and padding. Proper positioning ensures comfort and safety for the mother and baby.

What are the benefits of pregnancy massage?
Pregnancy massage can help to reduce stress, decrease swelling in the arms and legs, and can also help to relieve aches and pains in muscles and joints.

It is a popular complementary therapy during pregnancy for back pain, when choices for pain relief, such as medication, are often limited.
Not only can massage be physically beneficial, but the human touch can be comforting and provide emotional support during pregnancy.
Massage therapy has been found to reduce anxiety and depression.

The Bowen Technique is unique in the field of bodywork. Bowen is neither derived from, nor similar to any other hands-on modality. Simply stated, Bowen allows the body to reset and heal itself. The work consists of several series of gently rolling, connective tissue moves. There are frequent important pauses between sets of moves, which give the body time to benefit from each set. By selecting appropriate combinations and sequences of moves, the practitioner is able to address the body as a whole, and/or to target one or more specific problems. The practitioner discerns stress build-up in muscle groups and utilizes Bowen moves to release that stress.
Each person responds differently to a Bowen Session and every body responds according to their own body's ability to heal.

Bowen addresses the body as a whole unit rather than just the presenting symptoms. The physical, chemical, emotional and mental aspects of each person receiving Bowen can all respond as needed.
During a treatment a deep sense of peace and tranquillity may be induced, followed by an increase in energy levels. The mind and body are allowed to switch off and recharge and individuals may feel energised after a treatment.

Conditions that have been shown to respond include:

- Sciatica
- Sacro-iliac pain
- Back pain — lower, upper, mid-back
- Bunions
- Carpal tunnel syndrome/RSI
- Frozen shoulder
- Chronic fatigue syndrome, Fibromyalgia
- Groin tension or pain
- Hammer toes
- Knee pain
- Hamstring pain or tightness
- Plantar fasciitis
- Jaw pain / misalignment
- Scoliosis
- Neck pain/restricted range of motion
- Shin splints
- Sporting injuries
- Sprained ankles
- Sternal pain/sprung ribs
- Tennis elbow
- Golfers elbow
- Bed wetting in children

It is also useful for:
- ADD / ADHD
- Colic in infants
- Gynaecological issues (PMS, difficulty conceiving, menopausal symptoms)
- Hiatus hernia, reflux
- Indigestion, constipation, diarrhoea
- Headaches, including migraines
- Respiratory problems, including asthma and Hayfever
- Rehabilitation after stroke

A session may last from fifteen minutes to an hour. Most often, surprisingly few sessions are needed to alleviate complaints, whether structural or functional, even if long-standing.
Bowen is appropriate for everyone from newborns to the very elderly and frail. Highly trained athletes and pregnant women benefit equally, each according to need.

How many sessions?
This varies greatly from person to person.
Many conditions are effectively — and lastingly — changed in fewer than 3 - 5 sessions.
Musculo-skeletal symptoms generally change the fastest, neurological symptoms the slowest. Some chronic or organic conditions may require ongoing maintenance sessions.
Many people choose to have monthly or quarterly maintenance sessions (“tune-ups”) once their initial complaints are addressed.

Hot Stone Massage
This involves the application of water-heated basalt stones of varying sizes to key points on the body, giving a deep massage and creating sensations of comfort and warmth. The direct heat relaxes muscles, allowing manipulation of a greater intensity than with regular massage.

It ensures that every cell in the body receives more oxygen and nutrients while at the same time waste material is removed more effectively through the corresponding increase in lymph flow

Stone massage makes you feel deeply relaxed, allowing you to let go of all the stress that is held within your body. Those experiencing a hot stone massage will notice a healing improvement of the following symptoms:

Muscular aches, pains, sprains, and strains
Poor circulation
Rheumatic and arthritic conditions
Fibromyalgia
Back pain
Stress, anxiety and tension
Insomnia
Depression.
