Our Remedial Massage Therapists can effectively reduce your pain and discomfort and restore function to your muscles, nerves, fascia and other connective tissues.
What happens when you have a massage while pregnant here at The Body Refinery?
Benefits of prenatal massage can include:

Our therapists will use various degrees of appropriate hands-on pressure during your prenatal massage and dependant on your trimester. This variety will improve the condition and function of your muscles, and your body as a whole. You will immediately begin to feel the positive and powerful changes in your body. Toward the end of the third trimester, you may wish to have a tailored induction massage, where the treatment focuses on acupressure points in the body to help relax the body before labour.
At The Body Refinery, your massage is all about you. For your comfort, you can enjoy your massage:
- Side-lying
