Pregnancy Massage in Bath: Safe, Gentle and Nurturing Care for Mothers-to-Be
Pregnancy is a beautiful and transformative journey but it can also bring physical discomfort, emotional changes and moments of tiredness.
At Mediterranean Therapy in Bath, we believe that pregnancy is a time to be deeply cared for, gently supported and lovingly nurtured. Our pregnancy massage treatments are designed to offer relaxation, relief and wellbeing in complete safety for both mother and baby.
In this article, we explain when pregnancy massage is safe, how it works, and what treatments you can enjoy throughout your pregnancy journey.
Can You Have a Massage During Pregnancy?
This is one of the most common questions we receive.
In general, full body pregnancy massage is recommended from the 12th week of pregnancy onwards (after the first trimester). This is when the pregnancy is more stable and the body is ready to benefit safely from massage therapy.
However, this does not mean that you cannot enjoy treatments in the early weeks.
During the first trimester, when full body massage is not advised, you can still treat yourself to gentle and nurturing therapies such as:
• Relaxing facial treatments
• Natural skin cleansing and hydration rituals
• Gentle face, neck and shoulder massage
• Aromatherapy facials with pregnancy-safe products
These treatments allow you to relax, reduce stress and enjoy a moment of care without putting any pressure on the body.
Pregnancy Massage After 12 Weeks: How It Works
From the second trimester onwards, pregnancy massage can be safely enjoyed when performed by a trained therapist using the correct positioning and techniques.
At Mediterranean Therapy, pregnancy massage is always performed:
• In a side-lying position, never lying flat on the back or stomach
• With supportive pillows for comfort and safety
• Using gentle, slow and nurturing movements
• With natural, pregnancy-safe oils and products
This position allows us to massage the back, shoulders, hips and legs while protecting circulation and ensuring maximum comfort for you and your baby.
Techniques Used in Pregnancy Massage
Each pregnancy massage is fully personalised according to your needs and stage of pregnancy.
We may use a combination of:
✨ Swedish Massage Techniques
Soft, flowing movements to relax muscles, calm the nervous system and improve circulation.
✨ Manual Lymphatic Drainage
A very gentle technique that helps reduce:
• Swelling in legs and ankles
• Water retention
• Heavy or tired legs
This is especially beneficial in the later months of pregnancy.
✨ Focused Back, Neck & Shoulder Work
Perfect to relieve:
• Lower back pain
• Neck and shoulder tension
• Postural discomfort
All techniques are adapted to be safe, slow and deeply nurturing.
Benefits of Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy massage offers many wonderful benefits:
• Relieves back, hip and pelvic tension
• Reduces swelling and water retention
• Improves circulation
• Helps with sleep and relaxation
• Reduces anxiety and emotional stress
• Encourages connection with your body and your baby
Many mums tell us that pregnancy massage becomes one of the most precious moments of their pregnancy.

At Mediterranean Therapy we only use:
• Natural oils
• Pregnancy-safe ingredients
