Service Description

Aches and pains in pregnancy are very common, especially towards the end of pregnancy. But for some, this can happen much earlier, and if you are experiencing the condition known as 'PGP' (Pelvic Girdle pain) you can really suffer with pain, and even struggle with mobility due to the pain caused by hormonal changes. While there is no cure for PGP, (except waiting for the hormones to return to normal after birth) pain can be minimised and the condition managed with lifestyle modifications, analgesia, physiological support and massage therapy. Whether you have simple muscular aches and pains, or PGP, this treatment may be just what you are looking for, and may form part of your pain management plan. Once you are comfortable on the treatment couch with lots of support, we begin the treatment with heat therapy to the hips and lower back, as well as targetted analgesic, anti-inflammatory essential oil compresses to the same areas in order to soothe, soften and relax the muscles and surrounding tissues. Once the essential oils and heat are fully absorbed, massage therapy is commenced and concentrated around the back, hips, and legs to loosen up the overstretched muscles surrounding the pelvic bones. You will be able to take some of the treatment oil home for use between treatments. *e-Gift Cards / Vouchers available (See 'gift cards' on menu tab at the top of the screen)
