Massage
PREGNANCY MASSAGE
A pregnancy massage is a full body treatment which is specifically tailored to the needs of the pregnant woman and can help to ease some of the aches and pains (i.e. back-ache, swollen ankles, as well as emotional stress in dealing with these changes) whilst being deeply relaxing and nourishing.
A pregnancy massage is recommended after 12 weeks of pregnancy up until birth.
POSTNATAL MASSAGE
A full body treatment designed to help the new Mum's body recover and deal with all the new aches and pains.
In these first few weeks and months when all the focus is on the new baby it is also a chance for Mum to be kind to herself and receive a nourishing and relaxing treatment. It is suitable from 1 week after birth (4 weeks after a Caesarean, depending on how well the scar is healing).
Chiropractic Care
CHIROPRACTIC CARE DURING PREGNANCY
Women during pregnancy regularly seek chiropractic care. Common reasons pregnant mums-to-be visit include:
Lower back pain
Pelvic pain
Pubic pain
Neck pain
Leg pain
Chest pain
Our chiropractors utilise gentle and specific techniques to help alleviate pain and discomfort during pregnancy. We aim to release tension and help balance the pelvis and spine allowing the best environment for the baby during development and delivery.
POSTNATAL CHIROPRACTIC CARE
After birth ligaments begin tighten as hormone levels start to return to normal, which increases the chances of misalignments of the spine and pelvis. Gentle adjustments and exercises are used to return the spine and pelvis back to normal working function.
Studies have shown that the addition of chiropractic care to standard obstetric care gives significant benefits regarding low back and pelvic girdle pain [1].

Acupuncture
Our Acupuncturist Julie has a deep interest in women’s health and has extensive experience in the treatment of menstrual disorders, hormonal imbalance as seen during peri/menopause, pregnancy, and fertility, both natural and assisted. She spent 5 years at the renowned Zita West clinic in London.
Research shows that acupuncture can also help a wide range of women’s health conditions, including:
Hormonal imbalances
Menstrual complains
Premenstrual tension
Anxiety and mood swings
PCOS
Endometriosis
Hot flushes and other perimenopausal symptoms.
Regular treatment can reduce and often alleviate debilitating symptoms and promote physical and emotional wellbeing. Acupuncture stimulates the nervous system, influencing the production of hormones and neurotransmitters and by activating the body’s self-regulating homeostatic systems, it stimulates the body’s own healing abilities.
Pilates Courses
Pilates for Pregnancy & New Motherhood
A six week course to alleviate the stresses and strains of pregnancy whilst preparing for new motherhood
