PREGNANCY MASSAGE
Growing a baby is hard physical work. As your body changes, so does the load on your back, hips, and everything in between. Our pregnancy massage at Diverse Myotherapy in Pascoe Vale South is designed to ease those aches safely and comfortably, so you can move, sleep and feel better through every stage.
As pregnancy progresses, posture shifts, ligaments loosen and muscles work overtime to compensate. That commonly shows up as lower back pain, hip and glute tightness, neck and shoulder tension, swollen legs and feet, and restless sleep. Massage helps ease that muscular load, improve circulation and give your body some genuine relief while it's doing its biggest job.
Yes, when it's delivered by a qualified therapist who adjusts the treatment for pregnancy, massage is considered safe for most women, particularly in the second and third trimesters. Our therapists modify pressure, positioning and technique to suit your stage of pregnancy, and we'll always ask the right questions before we begin. If you have a high risk pregnancy or any complications, check with your GP, obstetrician or midwife first, and we'll work in with their advice.
Comfort comes first, and unlike most clinics, we have a specialised pregnancy pillow that lets you lie safely and comfortably on your stomach for treatment, up to a certain point in your pregnancy. Many mums tell us it's the first time they've been able to lie face down in months, and it feels amazing. As your pregnancy progresses we simply adapt with you, treating side lying, face up or even seated, whatever feels best on the day. From there, your therapist works through the areas carrying the most load, typically the lower back, hips, glutes, neck and shoulders, with pressure that's effective but always comfortable. You stay in control the whole time.
We commonly help with lower back and pelvic girdle pain, hip and glute tightness, sciatic type pain, neck and shoulder tension, tired and swollen legs, and the general muscle fatigue that comes with carrying a growing bump. Many clients also simply find it one of the few hours in the week where their body gets to fully switch off.
Diverse Myotherapy is an award-winning clinic on Bell Street, Pascoe Vale South, with 140 five-star Google reviews and seven consecutive Word of Mouth Service Awards. Private health rebates are available with all major funds, and no referral is needed.

Yes, for a good part of your pregnancy you can. We use a specialised
pregnancy pillow that supports your bump and lets you lie face down safely
and comfortably, something most mums think they'll have to give up for
nine months. Later in pregnancy we switch to side lying, face up or seated
positions, so you're always comfortable and the treatment never suffers.
Most women can enjoy massage right through their pregnancy, we simply
adjust positioning and technique as you progress. If your pregnancy is high
risk or you have complications, check with your GP, obstetrician or midwife
first and we'll follow their guidance.
Just mention that you're pregnant and roughly how far along you are when
you book, so we can have the right set-up ready for you. No referral is needed.
Yes, pregnancy massage is claimable with most major funds that cover
