What is pregnancy massage?
Pregnancy massage, also called prenatal or maternity massage, is adapted throughout for a changing body. The therapist positions you on your side with pillows and bolsters, or on a couch with a cut-out, never flat on your back after the first trimester, and uses gentle Swedish-style strokes with light to medium pressure. Certain areas and essential oils are avoided.
It addresses the complaints that come with pregnancy rather than general tension: lower back and pelvic ache, sciatic pain, swollen legs and feet, tight shoulders from a changing centre of gravity, and broken sleep. Many midwives recommend it from the second trimester, and some therapists also offer postnatal massage in the weeks after birth.
Look for a therapist with a specific pregnancy massage qualification, which most list on their profile, and expect a short consultation about how the pregnancy is going before the first session. Sessions are 60 minutes and, because getting to an appointment becomes harder later on, mobile treatment at home is common.

Where to find it in Liverpool
From Thursday the waterfront hotels around the Albert Dock and Liverpool ONE fill with visitors, and mobile bookings to hotels account for much of the week's work; by Monday the same therapists are quiet and easier to book at short notice. The centre is walkable end to end, so a therapist listing in the city centre can reach most hotels on foot and the distinction between areas matters less than in Manchester or Leeds. Aigburth and Woolton are genuinely residential, serving a local, repeat clientele with Swedish, hot stone and pregnancy treatments.

Frequently asked questions
When in pregnancy can I have a massage?
Most therapists treat from the second trimester (week 13) onwards, and some will treat earlier with the go-ahead of your midwife or GP. Tell the therapist how far along you are and about any complications when you book.
Is it safe to have massage while pregnant?
Yes, with a therapist trained in pregnancy massage. They will avoid certain pressure points and oils, position you safely and adjust the pressure. Check with your midwife if you have a high-risk pregnancy or any complications.
How much does pregnancy massage cost?
Typically £50 to £85 for an hour, slightly above a standard Swedish massage because of the specialist training and setup. Mobile visits add a travel supplement.
