What is Pregnancy Massage?

Pregnancy massage in Leeds is a specialist treatment designed specifically for the changing needs of the pregnant body. Using gentle, mindful techniques and safe side-lying positioning with a supportive maternity cushion, our prenatal massage helps ease the muscle aches, back discomfort, swollen ankles, hip tension and anxiety that often come with pregnancy. At Dragonfly Skin Day Spa in Leeds City Centre, our Maternity Body Ritual is available as a 60-minute or 90-minute treatment, available from 12 weeks onwards.

Benefits of Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy massage offers a range of benefits during the second and third trimesters, when the body is under the most physical strain. Regular sessions can help ease lower back and hip pain, reduce swelling in the legs and feet, improve circulation, calm anxiety and pregnancy-related stress, support better sleep, and lift overall mood. Many of our guests visit fortnightly or monthly throughout pregnancy as part of their self-care routine. It's a quiet, restorative hour where the focus is entirely on you.

Is Pregnancy Massage Safe?

Pregnancy massage is widely considered safe and beneficial when performed by a therapist trained in prenatal massage, using appropriate positioning and adapted techniques. At Dragonfly Skin, we only offer pregnancy massage after your 12-week scan, use a specialist maternity support cushion for safe side-lying positioning, and adapt every treatment to your trimester and individual needs. We do not use deep tissue pressure, hot stones, or essential oils that are unsuitable during pregnancy. If you have a high-risk pregnancy, pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, or any concerns, please consult your midwife or healthcare professional before booking. We're happy to discuss your situation with you before your appointment.
