Pre + Post Natal Massage

Qi Rhythm practitioners offer massage in the convenience and comfort of your own home as well as visits to women in hospital. We use a supportive pregnancy table enabling you to lay on your belly – a true luxury. Our practitioners draw on a wide range of skills, knowledge and experiences; including time spent in some of Melbourne’s leading maternity hospitals.

Pre and post-natal massage has many positive aspects for you and your baby. Massage provides emotional relief and physical improvement for muscular pain and imbalance, helping to relax and strengthen the body. Body-work promotes soothing and invigorating properties that help to relieve mothers and in turn their babies. Our practitioners draw on many different styles and techniques. Deep tissue massage relieves tension from the musculotendinous unit, improving range of movement and tightness. Lymphatic drainage massage helps maintain circulation, preventing swelling both pre and post-natal. Relaxation massage provides an excellent feeling of release, increases the metabolic rate and breaks down food for both mother and baby. Therapeutic massage combined with regular exercise increases muscular strength and stabilises weight, helping to restore your body after birth.

Induction massage

Induction massage is given after your due-date. Focusing on acupressure points otherwise avoided during pregnancy, these pressure points combined with massage can help the body to release both endorphins and it’s own oxytocin hormone. Oxytocin is a natural form of Pintocin used medically to induce labour. These techniques work with the body’s own ability and willingness to let labour begin naturally. Induction massage works to relax and calm the body easing tensions and helping to create a clear and grounded space. Using the essential oil of Clary sage, massage also helps to release your sacrum and pelvic area allowing you to open your body to birth.We have a fantastic success rate with our induction massages, with most clients going into labour within 12-48 hours, often avoiding medical intervention.
