Pregnancy massage
Pregnancy is a beautiful, but also physically demanding journey. The body changes as the baby grows, and this can lead to soreness, tension and general fatigue. At Helse- og Idrætsklinikken we offer professional pregnancy massage that creates peace in both body and mind – with respect for your and baby's safety.
Why choose pregnancy massage?
When you are pregnant, your body works at high pressure. The increased pressure on muscles and joints, fluid retention and hormonal changes can cause both physical and mental challenges. A gentle and safe massage can:
- Relieve pain in the lower back, pelvis and hips
- Relieve tension in the back, shoulders and neck
- Reduce swelling and restlessness in the legs and feet
- Improve blood circulation and sleep quality
- Give yourself a mental break and strengthened body contact
Massage during pregnancy isn't just about relief – it's also a way to connect with your body and your baby. Many experience a deep sense of presence and calm that lasts long after the treatment.
Safety and professionalism in focus
We know that pregnant women can feel more vulnerable – especially in a treatment situation. That's why it's crucial for us that you feel seen, heard and completely safe when you're lying on the table.
We use a specially designed pregnancy pillow, which makes it possible to lie comfortably and safely – also on your stomach – without straining your stomach or back. In addition, our therapists are constantly in dialogue with midwives and updated on the latest knowledge about massage for pregnant women, so we always take your specific situation and due date into account.
When can you get a pregnancy massage?
Most pregnant women start getting massages from the second trimester onwards – when the worst of the nausea has subsided and the body really starts to change. Some stay throughout their pregnancy as an investment in their own well-being and preparation for birth.
No matter how far along you are in your pregnancy, we adapt the treatment to your needs, and we always take into account any special circumstances.
Pregnancy massage can especially help with:
- Low back pain and pelvic luxation
- Tension in the back and shoulders
- Soreness in legs, knees, and feet
- Sciatica and nerve pressure
- Headache and fatigue
- Sleep problems and inner turmoil
- Need for relaxation and self-care
A break you (and your baby) will enjoy
When you take the time to care for yourself, it also benefits your baby. A calm nervous system and a relaxed body are contagious – right into the womb. Many pregnant women report that they experience increased contact with their baby after the treatment and sleep better at night.
