A deeply relaxing treatment performed by a specialist
Reduce swelling and ease pressure on your joints and lower back
Relief from the daily aches and pains that come from growing new life
This is a comforting treatment for mums-to-be who are in their second or third trimester, or have recently given birth. It’s designed to soothe the aches and pains that come with growing new life. Your specialist will tailor the treatment to your specific needs.
All pregnancy massages are performed by therapists who’ve undergone specific training, so feel free to ask any questions you might have before your treatment starts.
Your therapist will use long, slow strokes and kneading movements in the places you’re feeling tense, with special attention paid to the lower back and legs. You’ll be on your side throughout the treatment to avoid compressing the umbilical vein.
During your pregnancy, regular massages can help you cope with discomfort as well as relieve insomnia, neck and back pain, joint pain, leg cramping and sciatica.

More info about pregnancy massage
No, Urban pregnancy massage therapists can only treat pregnant people who have completed the first trimester.
There’s a lot of focus on the back during a pregnancy massage, because that’s often where tension builds up. But therapists will also treat your legs (which can help they're feeling heavy), arms, neck and head.
Your stomach/bump won't be massaged, and if you want your therapist to avoid other parts of your body, just let them know.
Yes, in the hands of a trained professional and booked from your second trimester onwards. In fact, babies can benefit from pregnancy massage as the endorphins you release during the body massage are passed on.
To offer pregnancy massage on Urban, therapists have to show they're specially trained and know how to keep you and your baby safe.
Safety considerations
Positioning matters – After 20 weeks, you should avoid lying flat on your back for long periods, as it can compress a major blood vessel (the vena cava). Therapists will use side-lying or semi-reclined positions for comfort and safety.
Avoid deep pressure on certain areas – Reflexology points around the ankles and wrists are sometimes thought to trigger contractions, though there’s no solid proof. A trained therapist will know how to work safely.
Check with your doctor – If you have a high-risk pregnancy (e.g., preeclampsia, placenta previa, or a history of preterm labor), your provider may have specific recommendations.
As long as you're working with a qualified prenatal massage therapist, it's a safe and effective way to support your body and baby throughout pregnancy!
For the massage table (that your therapist will bring) you’ll need about 2x3m of floor space. That’s about the size of a yoga mat, with enough space to walk around the edge.
Your mobile massage therapist will bring a portable massage table and oils for your treatment. You'll just need to grab three towels/blankets for the massage table, as well as a pillow or two to support you.
