Pregnancy Remedial Massage
During your Pregnancy Massage appointment your Therapist will discuss safe positioning depending on your pregnancy journey. Due to the potential stress and complications of facedown belly pillows your Professionally Trained Therapist will offer supported supine or side lying positions depending on your pregnancy journey. But do not stress we have lots of bolsters, pillows and helpful tips and tricks to get you snuggly and comfortable. Our Pregnant clients often comment on how comfortable they are and find it easy to drift off into a snooze mid massage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is massage during pregnancy safe?
Yes not only is massage during pregnancy safe but it has amazing health benefits for both Mums and bubs! Our Remedial Therapist are Certified and trained in Pregnancy Massage by Pregnancy Massage Australia, the leading Pregnancy Training College in Australia. We are cautious with pressure, positioning and oil choice so you can relax knowing you’re in safe hands.
When can I start having massage after falling pregnant?
As soon as you feel up to it! Pregnancy Certified Therapist are trained to work with Pregnant clients prior to conception right up to Labour. Massage is very safe during Pregnancy; however, a Pregnancy Certified Therapist has extra knowledge and skills to enhance your pregnancy massage.
How often should I get massage when Pregnant?
We recommend every 4-5 weeks up till 30 weeks. From 30 weeks we recommend every 3 weeks then from 36 weeks once a fortnight as you edge closer to your due date. Having a massage booked the week of your due date helps relax your body and can help promote an easier labour.
Are their circumstances where massage during pregnancy isn’t advisable?
Yes, any typical illness that contraindicates massage also contraindicated Pregnancy Massage but this may only before a short period of your Pregnancy Journey.
We advise individuals that are a High-Risk Pregnancy, are having Pregnancy Complications or have had 2 or more miscarriages in a row to check with your Medical Professional or Midwife before booking your appointment.
Oh and labour! Once a client has started Active Labour we go hands off until your gorgeous bubs has arrived.
When can I come back in for a massage post pregnancy?
This timeline depends on your birth. For clients who has a C-section, wait 6 weeks post-natal to let you the scar tissue heal.
For non-C section births this depends on Mum. If Mum is feeling healthy post birth, we usually recommend she can come in for a post-natal massage as soon as her post birth bleed has reduced to spotting or completely gone. Your first massage within 12 weeks post-natal can also be booked as a pregnancy massage as this is within the 4th trimester and your Pregnancy Therpaist takes your birth journey into special consideration with your massage treatment plan. Plus, we love seeing photos of your little ones!

Customer Reviews
Georgina is an excellent therapist, my wife (who was a massage therapist) and I can’t rate her highly enough.
Extremely well trained and friendly staff. They offer pregnancy massage, before and after baby, plus baby massage. Also other fitness classes and health coaching. I love the core class and get regular massages to enable me live my life to the fullest.
Excellent treatment. My anterior neck had been troubling me for 3 months+ and Georgina found the right depth and techniques to release it fully. Very happy and money well spent.
The team at G-Vitalize were able to sort out my upper back pain in just one remedial massage session, and recommended stretches and exercises to keep that pain away. It was easy to book my appointment online, and everyone was very welcoming and professional. I cannot recommend their services enough, thank you Georgina and Alec!
Best remedial massage in Adelaide! Caitlin is amazing and has a real talent in healing people. Comfortable and welcoming space that you can relax and treat yourself for an affordable price tag. Highly recommend!
Whether you just need a relaxing massage or specific issues focussed on, Yasmin is your therapist!

Georgina is a consumate professional. Knowledgable, helpful and an excellent hands on practitioner, I recommend her to anyone looking for a great remedial massage specialist!
Just had an amazing massage by Georgie! Went in with a sore neck and back and left feeling on cloud 9. Totally recommend seeing Georgie if you’re looking to give your muscles some tlc! Thanks Georgie
Reflexology makes me feel more centred. It helps to create a balanced body and mind. It has relieved pains that I have not been able to relieve with other treatments by relaxing deep in areas I cannot normally get too. Foot Reflexology is something I would receive once a week at the end of busy week to relax my mind and body after a hectic 60 hour week. I would recommend Reflexology to anyone.
Georgina’s professional service in massage is second to none. Georgina is such a happy and inspirational person that I can’t wait to attend to my appointments. Georgina has provided me with no only a fantastic service at a time convenient to my diary, while has also assisted the overall improvement of my heath, but providing me with exercises to do between appointments that will compliment my treatments with her. I would highly recommend Georgina’s services.
Embark into your health and fitness journey and start living a happier, holistic life.
