Pregnancy massage
Even if you are pregnant (after about 12 weeks), you can have a massage. This is convenient because pregnancy is often accompanied by physical discomforts such as back pain, fluid retention and fatigue.
A relaxing pregnancy massage can help reduce these symptoms. Just like a 'regular' relaxation massage, this massage has quite a few benefits.
- reduces the production of stress hormones
- offers relief from varicose veins.
- massage also stimulates blood flow, allowing more oxygen-rich blood to reach your organs and your baby.
- Of course, also just a rest, quiet moment for yourself. You deserve it; extra me-time.

How does a pregnancy massage work?
A pregnancy relaxation massage works slightly differently from a regular massage. A pregnancy massage avoids the pressure points that are connected to the uterus. You probably can no longer lie comfortably on your stomach, especially if you are further along in your pregnancy. It is therefore good to know that during the massage, you do have the option of lying comfortably on your belly. At our practice, location Leiden, we have a massage table with recess. At location Oegstgeest we also have the possibility to lie on your belly, with a pregnancy massage cushion, which is also very comfortable. Lying on your back is also very comfortable with adjustable head and leg support. Side lying is also possible. In addition, you can also experience the pregnancy massage together with a partner, friend in the form of a duo massage.
Call or write right away for an appointment. Due to our wide opening hours, there are always sure to be massage opportunities at short notice.
