What it is

Pregnancy massage is a gentle treatment designed to help you feel more comfortable as your body and emotions change during pregnancy. At Asiatic, we tailor each session to your stage of pregnancy, comfort, pressure preferences, and health considerations. Most sessions last about 60 minutes and start with a chat about your needs or concerns. The massage uses relaxing techniques, and we make sure you feel supported and at ease throughout.

Our massage therapists use gentle positioning, clear communication, and supportive side-lying pillows to help you stay comfortable during your session. Pregnancy massage may be especially helpful if you are seeking relief for postural fatigue, sciatica relief, lower back, hip, leg, shoulder, or upper back discomfort, or for general body tension. We offer pregnancy massage after your first three months. If your pregnancy is high-risk or you have symptoms like pain, swelling, dizziness, bleeding, high blood pressure, or any other medical concerns, please talk to your midwife, GP, or healthcare provider before booking.

How it works

Pregnancy massage differs from a regular massage because we adjust positioning, pressure, and pace for your safety and comfort. Your therapist will check in with you before and during the session, and most treatments are done while you lie on your side with support.

Some clients want stronger pressure, especially on the shoulders, neck, and upper back. During pregnancy, though, we focus on gentle techniques, proper positioning, and careful release of tension rather than using excessive force. Our goal is to support your body without putting extra strain on sensitive areas.

Many clients come to us seeking comfort around lower-back, hip, swelling or sciatic discomfort during pregnancy. Some also ask for firmer work on their shoulders, neck, and upper back. We adapt pregnancy massage for comfort and safety, using careful techniques, thoughtful positioning, and open communication to support your needs without using too much pressure.

The Benefits of Pregnancy Massage

Reduce pain

Get rid of the aches and pains of carrying a tiny human wherever you go. Our spa in London will give you the pain relief and relaxation you deserve.

Relax your mind

Pregnancy can be taxing on more than just your body. Let go of stress, fear, and anxiety and allow us to massage away the mental stress and worry that you might have been feeling low.

Improve circulation

Can’t touch your toes or rub your feet anymore? That’s ok! Our pregnancy massage will help improve circulation, blood flow, and lymphatic drainage throughout every stage of your pregnancy.

Our recommendation

We offer pregnancy massage after your first three months. If you have a high-risk pregnancy, a history of preterm labour, pre-eclampsia, unexplained pain, bleeding, sudden swelling, dizziness, reduced baby movements, or any concerns, please talk to your midwife, GP, or healthcare provider before booking.

After your session, we suggest drinking water, moving slowly, and giving your body time to settle. Rest for a few minutes before leaving, and try to avoid heavy activities for the rest of the day if you can. Most clients feel relaxed and comfortable after their massage, but mild soreness or tiredness is normal as your body adjusts. If you notice any unusual symptoms, such as dizziness, headache, sudden swelling, pain, bleeding, nausea, or reduced baby movements, please contact your midwife, GP, or healthcare provider. Some clients book massages when they feel tired or tense, while others like to come regularly during the second and third trimesters.

You can get a pregnancy massage at Asiatic, either at our Angel or Highbury studios. Both locations have ground-floor treatment rooms and side-lying support pillows to keep you comfortable.Some clients book pregnancy massage when they feel tired or tense, while others prefer regular sessions during the second and third trimesters.

Why many expectant mothers have chosen Asiatic

Asiatic has supported clients in Angel and Islington since 2009, with pregnancy massage available at both our Angel studio at 93 Upper Street and our Highbury studio at 262 Upper Street. Our team has over ten massage therapists who provide pregnancy massage, and most sessions are with experienced female therapists. If you prefer a firmer touch on your shoulders, neck, or upper back, male therapists may be available, depending on suitability and availability.

Our pregnancy massage team includes more than ten therapists, with some having 8 to 12 years of pregnancy massage experience. Our longest-serving therapist has been with Asiatic for 17 years. This long-term team shows the trust we build with both our guests and our staff.

Pregnancy massage comfort at our Angel and Highbury boutique

Both our Angel and Highbury studios have treatment rooms on the ground floor, which is helpful if you want to avoid stairs. Each session uses side-lying support, gentle positioning, and clear communication so you feel heard during your treatment. You are welcome to bring a partner or support person to your appointment. Please let us know in advance so we can ensure you are comfortable and have privacy.

Many pregnant clients ask for a full-body pregnancy massage, especially for support the lower back, hips, legs, shoulders, and upper body. Some guests also combine pregnancy massage with our Back & Shoulder Massage when seeking additional comfort around the upper body. Asiatic is a family-run business started by therapists, not a corporate spa. We want to create a professional but warm space where expectant mothers feel heard, supported, and cared for.

Yes, we prioritise your safety and comfort above all else. During pregnancy, your skin and sense of smell become more sensitive, so we use only high-quality, professional-grade unscented oils and massage creams chosen for their purity and gentleness. We know strong fragrances can be overwhelming, so we use neutral, hypoallergenic products as standard. If you have allergies or product preferences, please tell your therapist before your session, and we will tailor your treatment to your comfort.

Some clients prefer firmer pressure, especially around the shoulders, neck, and upper back. During pregnancy, we focus on careful technique, positioning, and controlled pressure instead of forceful work.
