Targeted Care for the 2nd & 3rd Trimester
Pregnancy massage is a specialised discipline. Because the first 12 weeks are a period of significant hormonal and physiological change, bodytonic clinic maintains a safety-first policy: we do not perform massage treatments during the first trimester. If you are in your first trimester and experiencing musculoskeletal discomfort, please book an Osteopathy consultation, where our practitioners can provide a full clinical assessment and safe, gentle manual therapy. Our specialised prenatal treatments are designed to support you through every trimester, available at our main hubs including our dedicated Massage Stratford clinic.
Why Wait Until the Second Trimester?
- Maternal-Fetal Safety: The first trimester is the most sensitive period of fetal development. By waiting until week 13, we ensure your body is better regulated for the circulatory changes induced by massage.
- Morning Sickness & Sensitivity: Early pregnancy often involves nausea and dizziness. Massage, which stimulates the circulatory and lymphatic systems, can sometimes exacerbate these symptoms in the early weeks.
- Focus on Advanced Needs: From the second trimester onwards, the body’s center of gravity shifts. This is when professional intervention is most effective for Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP), sciatica, and lower back strain.
