FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions

Unsure about the benefits of Pregnancy Massage or Reflexology? View our Frequently asked questions below or contact us on 07802517366.

What to Expect From Your Pregnancy Massage Appointment

Your first pregnancy massage or reflexology appointment with us will normally involve a brief discussion about the symptoms you are experiencing and what you are hoping to achieve from the appointment. Our specialist women’s health therapists will then use the information you have provided to make an assessment and decide what they can safely help you with. If you are hoping to have a relaxing pregnancy massage, rather than one to alleviate any symptoms, this is also something that can be provided as part of our pregnancy massage service.

Once the initial assessment and discussion has taken place, our specialist women’s health therapists will begin the pregnancy massage treatment. At this point, it would be helpful if you were wearing clothes that could either be easily removed or pulled up to access the areas of your body that you are struggling with.

If you do not feel comfortable with revealing particular areas of your body, please don’t hesitate to communicate this to our therapists, and they will do their best to find a solution. What’s more, if you find yourself feeling uncomfortable in certain massage positions, let us know and we will change things up. We can use a tailor made pregnancy pillow to allow a forward facing massage if required.

Can I Lay on My Stomach For a Massage While Pregnant?

You can lay on your stomach for a pregnancy massage if that is how you feel most comfortable. However, our specialist women’s health therapists can also start the massage in sideways lying position, whichever is most comfortable for the mother.

We also have tailor made pregnancy pillows on hand, if the stomach lying position is deemed to be the most appropriate option. The pregnancy pillow is designed to provide support to both the mother and baby.

Is it Safe to Get a Massage When You are Pregnant?

Yes, it is safe to get a pregnancy massage from 12 weeks into your pregnancy, but we would recommend checking with your consultant or midwife before booking an appointment. If you are in pain before 12 weeks, then we suggest booking in for a pregnancy physiotherapy assessment with our senior women’s health physiotherapy team. Every pregnancy is different, but your consultant will be aware if there are any reasons why you personally should avoid a massage.

If you do want to have a pregnancy massage or physio in your pregnancy, we would recommend choosing a service that is provided by specialist women’ health physiotherapists and/or our specialist massage therapists.. This is because they will have the expert knowledge and training to know how to safely and effectively provide therapy to pregnant women. Whilst an everyday massage therapist might be good at releasing some tension in your shoulders, they may not be aware of the safest positions or techniques to use on pregnant women.

Natalia Craddock

Must have check up after having a baby. New addition- I treated myself to a wonderful self-care routine by going weekly to pregnancy massage delivered skillfully by Charlotte and Caitriona. The massage helps with pregnancy related pain and discomfort as well as much needed relaxation

H Fryman

All the staff at Bump to Beyond are extremely friendly and professional. I can highly recommend them for any pelvic floor concerns. I have had the very best treatment and expert advice - which has made such a different to my pelvic floor health and my general well-being. At every appointment I have been treated with respect and always have had everything explained clearly along the way. If you are thinking of seeking help, you couldn’t find better physios! Thank you so much 👌🏼

Sarah Montrose

I can't recommend Bump to Beyond enough. The whole team are fantastic. They have created a clinic space full of compassion as well as being highly knowledgeable. I first visited for a Mummy MOT and I am now halfway through my treatment plan. Charlotte has been fantastic in listening to my concerns and making sure the treatment is right for me. It has made a real difference to my post natal recovery, both physically and psychologically. Charlotte and Deb have also given me hope of returning to my previously enjoyed activities.

Julie Lomax

I would highly recommend Bump and Beyond after having a slipped disc in 2020, I just couldn't get going again seeing lots of specialists on the way. I was recommended Debs by Bolton University and to be honest they have been amazing. I was diagnosed with a right sided tummy gap and after just 4 month's have managed through the bump and beyond platinum package to completely sort my tummy gap. I am still under Debs care and hope to graduate in the next few weeks, but will be keeping in touch to ensure things stay on track in the future. Thankyou to Debs and the whole team who are an absolute pleasure to work to chat and have a laugh with evrytime I go into clinic x Julie I have seen had breast cancer and been back to Bump to beyond June 2026 for scar therapy and would like to add this. I am a 52-year-old who has recently undergone treatment for breast cancer, including two surgeries within the past year—a lumpectomy with targeted node biopsy in August, followed by an axillary node clearance in September. I’ve been seeing Myer for support with scar management and improving movement in my shoulder and chest. Through massage and tailored daily exercises that she updates each week, the progress has been remarkable. After just three sessions, the appearance of my scar has significantly improved, and I’ve regained so much movement and sensation in the area under my arm. Not only have the physical results been fantastic, but the whole experience at the clinic has been incredibly positive. Myer is knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely caring, and I’ve really appreciated the friendly, relaxed atmosphere during each visit. I wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend Myer and her services to anyone recovering from surgery.

Cintia Maldonado

Great experience with Mey and Charlotte. They diagnosed a tummy gap I hadn't realised I had and help me close it. I don't have the measurements to hand but after a few weeks of treatment plus exercises I regained my core strength and the gap is now closed. We also worked on the scar tissue and the area was feeling very tight but now it feels a lot better. The scar appearance has also improved. Thank you both!

Katie Brammer

Great help for my diastasis. Would recommend to anyone needing advice and treatment pre and post partum

Rachael Darley

I’ve just finished almost a year of rehab following a c section for my 2nd baby. It’s been such a great experience, from my initial pelvic floor rehab exercises to c section scar massage with Meyer, it’s been pivotal to my recovery. Special thanks to Meyer who has been amazing and provided so much information about my scar and how to continue supporting it long term! I would highly recommend!! Thank you again
