Pregnancy Massage


Nurturing, soothing, supportive and relaxing
Learn how to confidently and safely support pregnant clients with this comprehensive 1-day Pregnancy Massage Course— ideal for massage therapists, sports therapists, and bodyworkers looking to expand their skills and reach.
Pregnancy places unique demands on the body, and massage can offer vital relief from muscular tension, back pain, swelling, and emotional stress. This CPD-accredited course provides the knowledge and hands-on techniques needed to adapt your treatments for each stage of pregnancy, including appropriate positioning, pressure, and contraindications.
You’ll learn how to work with clients during all trimesters, focusing on areas of common discomfort such as the lower back, hips, neck, and legs. Emphasis is placed on safety, clear communication, and building trust with pregnant clients, ensuring they feel supported and relaxed throughout their treatment. Held in Nottingham by experienced instructors, the course combines theory with supervised practical sessions and is open to qualified massage professionals from across the UK. By the end of the day, you’ll leave with the confidence to deliver effective, nurturing massage that supports maternal wellbeing—and the skills to expand your services in this rewarding area of practice.
