Amazing Pregnancy Massage - Lisa has a massage

New ESPA maternity treatments now available at the 4* Abbey Hotel Spa in Redditch, Worcestershire.

 

"When Gemma our beautician asked in the office if anyone would volunteer for the new ESPA pregnancy spa treatment to be demonstrated on them I jumped at the chance. I’m not pregnant so in some parts of the massage we did need to imagine I was. The Espa pre and post natal treatment is suitable from 12 weeks of pregnancy and you can have the treatment as many times as you like, you could have one every day, once a month or just as a once off! After you’ve had one treatment your definitely want to book in again as it is truly relaxing.

 

 

The treatment starts off with you sat on the bed where the beautician will exfoliate your back with the most amazing ESPA product and then warm towels are pressed onto your back. Then you are carefully laid down on your one side with lots of pillows to prop you and bump up. The one side of your back is then massaged and any areas you are experiencing pain, tension or stress in is gently eased away. She then moves down to your legs, which I didn’t think would do anything, but I was amazed how relaxing it was and if I was heavily pregnant would really benefit my legs and ankles with the extra weight I was carrying around.

 

The same techniques were applied to the other side of my body after turning over.  After both sides of my body had been massaged I was put in an arm chair position on the bed and my arms, hips and legs were lifted with towels placed under them. Once positioned comfortably my (imaginary) bump was gently massaged, if you would rather not have your bump touched just let the therapist know, this part is not compulsory, however, I am told it really helps with stretch marks and is designed specifically for bumps in mind.

 

The legs and feet are then massaged again to help relieve any tension. To finish off a scalp mask is applied and pressure points on the scalp are pushed. If you’re having difficulty sleeping, experiencing tension, or just in need of some pampering I would definitely recommend this treatment and I guarantee you will not be disappointed".
