City Marshall Sports Massage & Reflexology

Pregnancy Massage and Pregnancy Reflexology by City Marshall offer tailor made massage treatments for women trying to conceive, during IVF treatments, as a support during the prenatal period and as a follow up in the first postnatal stages. We recognize that the pregnancy is a long process, and that the pregnant lady's needs are constantly changing.

Reflexology and Shiatsu are offered as a fully clothed pregnancy option. Light massage (Swedish or sports massage) as well as tailor made aromatherapy blends are also offered, depending on the stage of pregnancy and IVF treatment you are undergoing.

This special range of pregnancy sports massage treatments is suitable for people of all ages and physical conditions. Aromatherapy essential oils may be blended to ease the effects associated with your particular needs. Sciatic nerve pain during pregnancy may also be addressed with various trigger point therapy treatments and myofascial soft tissue manipulations may best suit the release of the trapped nerve which may cause a lack of mobility, reduced range of motion, shooting pains and 'pins and needles' numbness, especially during the latter stages of your pregnancy.

Shorter versions of the pregnancy massage may be performed without oil, over your (light cotton) clothing. This will mainly involve pregnancy Shiatsu and pregnancy sports massage or trigger pointing. When performed in this way, this pregnancy massage routine may be quite deep and invigorating, when needed. As the pregnancy massage is very practical, a 'dry' pregnancy massage as short as 30 minutes can easily be done on the upright chair, while leaning into a specialised stool.
