Prenatal & Postnatal Massage

Becoming a mother is one of life’s most profound transitions. At Revives.ae, we understand how your body, mind and emotions shift during pregnancy and after birth. That’s why our specialised Prenatal & Postnatal Massage service is designed to support you through both phases — helping you feel supported, relaxed and restored.

Why Prenatal Massage Matters

During pregnancy your body is doing so much: supporting your growing baby, adjusting to hormonal changes, shifting on joints and muscles, managing new postural demands. A qualified prenatal massage offers gentle, safe relief.

Some of its key benefits:

Relief from back pain, leg/calf tension, and sciatic-nerve discomfort.
Reduced swelling (edema) in feet, ankles, hands, via improved lymphatic and blood circulation.
Boosted mood and relaxation — massage helps regulate stress hormones (like cortisol) and increase “feel-good” hormones (serotonin, dopamine).
Improved sleep and overall comfort during pregnancy.
Potentially better labour outcomes: some studies find fewer complications and lower premature-birth rates when therapeutic massage is part of prenatal care.

How we do it at Revives.ae:

Our therapists are trained in pregnancy-safe techniques (side-lying positioning, pregnancy-approved cushions/props).
Light-to-moderate pressure only — never deep tissue on sensitive areas.
Customised to your trimester and your unique concerns (e.g., hip discomfort, sleeping issues, swelling).
A tranquil space in Dubai, allowing you to step-away from daily stress and connect with your wellness.

When to start & precautions:

Many recommend starting after the first trimester (after 12 weeks) unless cleared by your doctor.
If you have a high-risk pregnancy (placenta previa, pre-eclampsia, DVT history etc.), always consult your obstetrician before booking.

Why Postnatal Massage is Essential

Once baby arrives, your body continues its significant work: recovering, adjusting hormones, physical healing, and new routines. Postnatal massage is more than just a treat — it supports your recovery and well-being.

Key benefits include:

Relief of muscle tension and soreness common after labour or C-section – especially back, shoulders, neck (from breastfeeding/holding baby).
Reduced swelling and improved circulation via lymphatic drainage — helping your body remove excess fluids and recover more efficiently.
Hormonal balance and improved mood: massage can help regulate the roller-coaster hormones of the “fourth trimester,” thereby reducing anxiety or the “baby blues.”
Enhanced breastfeeding support: improved circulation, reduced tension in the shoulders/back contributes to more comfortable feeding.
Better sleep and overall sense of self-care — important when you’re caring for a newborn and your own well-being may take a back seat.

How we implement this at Revives.ae:

Postnatal sessions tailored to your recovery phase (whether you had natural birth or C-section).
Certified therapists experienced in postpartum massage and aware of safety for scars/incisions.
Comfortable setting where baby can wait nearby if needed (depending on service).
Flexible scheduling for new mothers.

Timing & safety notes:

Many begin massage once medically cleared (especially after C-section) — often after 4-6 weeks (or as advised by your doctor).
Healing scars and sensitive areas need thoughtful handling — ask the therapist about their experience.
Always inform your therapist of your birth history and any current concerns.

FAQ – What Mum’s Usually Ask

Is it safe to have a massage while pregnant?
Yes — for most healthy pregnancies, therapeutic prenatal massage by a trained therapist is safe and beneficial. But always consult your doctor if you have any pregnancy complications.

Can I get a postnatal massage after a C-section?
Yes, but you’ll need clearance from your doctor, and the massage therapist should be informed about your scar/incision. Gentle techniques will be used accordingly.

How often should I schedule these massages?
It varies — for prenatal, some recommend every 2-3 weeks, increasing as you reach the later trimester.

Postnatal may start with 1-2 sessions per month or more frequently depending on need.

Will the massage help with my labour experience or recovery?
Research suggests prenatal massage may improve labour outcomes (shorter labour, fewer complications) and postnatal massage can assist recovery, lower swelling and support emotional wellness.
