Advanced Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy is hard on your body. The aches build up, sleep gets harder, and some days everything just feels heavy. Pelvic girdle pain, lower back tension, swollen legs, hip stiffness – it’s a lot.

Our advanced pregnancy massage is tailored to wherever you are – your trimester, your body, and how you’re feeling on the day. If you need focused work on pelvic pain, tight hips, or heavy, swollen legs, we’ll get into it. If you need an hour to slow down, breathe, and let your body properly rest, that’s just as valid.

Every session is led by Jo Wakefield, a senior soft tissue therapist with advanced pregnancy massage certification – experienced, calm, and genuinely lovely to be around.

We regularly support clients experiencing:

  • Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) and SPD
  • Lower back pain and lumbar tension
  • Hip pain and stiffness
  • Upper back, shoulder, and rib tension from postural changes
  • Swollen, heavy legs and lower limb fluid retention
  • Leg cramps
  • Sciatic-type pain during pregnancy
  • Carpal tunnel symptoms
  • Headaches related to tension or hormonal changes
  • Difficulty sleeping due to physical discomfort
  • General fatigue and physical stress
  • Discomfort in pre-existing C-section scars (second+ pregnancy)

Some clients come to us with specific pain – pelvic girdle discomfort, a back that won’t let up, legs that feel twice their weight. Others just need an hour where someone skilled and calm takes care of them. Both are completely valid, and both leave feeling better.

  • Led by a specialist – Jo Wakefield holds advanced pregnancy massage certification and works with pregnant clients every week
  • Adapted to you – your trimester, your symptoms, your comfort level on the day
    Safe, comfortable positioning – side-lying and supported reclined positions, always adjusted to how you feel
  • Warm, unhurried care – time to talk, time to rest, and a therapist who genuinely listens
  • A natural pathway into postnatal support – many of our pregnancy clients continue with Jo for postnatal recovery and C-section scar therapy

Whether this is your first pregnancy or your fourth, we’re here to help your body feel more supported, more mobile, and more like yours again.

Client's Questions Answered

What makes this “advanced” pregnancy massage?

This is more than a spa-style massage. We combine hands-on soft tissue therapy with clinical knowledge and individualised care – helping address pain, postural changes, or stress-related tension.

We treat from 12 weeks, with adjustments for each stage. If you’re under consultant care or have medical concerns, we may ask for midwife or GP clearance.

We use adapted side-lying and supported reclined positions – no pressure on your bump, and comfort always comes first.

Yes – we provide postnatal massage and C-section scar therapy. Learn more on our Postnatal Massage page.

Yes. PGP is one of the most common reasons clients book with us. We use targeted soft tissue techniques to ease tension around the pelvis, hips, and lower back – helping reduce pain and improve mobility.

That depends on your symptoms. Some clients come fortnightly for ongoing support; others book as and when discomfort flares up. We’ll guide you based on what your body needs – there’s no set programme.

In most cases, yes – but we may ask for written clearance from your midwife or consultant first. Your safety always comes first, and we’ll adapt everything accordingly.

Whatever you’re comfortable in. We use towels and positioning supports so you’re always covered and supported. You don’t need to undress fully if you are not happy to do so – we work with what you’re comfortable with.

Testimonials

Real Feedback, Real Results

"The team at Advance SRM are amazing. Both Jo and John have helped our entire family with acute and chronic problems.
Both my daughters are competitive dancers and the team have gone above and beyond to help them recover and manage injury and get them back dancing. This includes John strapping my daughter to make sure she could safely dance ahead of an international competition.
Jo has helped immensely for myself with post breast cancer recuperation and regained so much movement while reducing pain - she has undone years of damage! She also is a whizz at alleviating migraine tension.
Jess has been incredibly supportive of our fundraising efforts to help our local team represent England at international World Dance Championships.
Cannot recommend the team highly enough, and on top of all the great therapeutic services they provide, they are also involved with various local community groups."
Caroline Findley
"As a fitness teacher I would only recommend Advance SRM. John & his teams knowledge of anatomy & biomechanics is outstanding, I learn something new every time.
Add a lovely building with free parking & friendly staff gives it my 5 stars."
Victoria Crees
"I can thoroughly recommend Advance SRM Therapies in terms of the excellent care provided and the professionalism and kindness of my therapist, Jo. I went to her in excruciating pain from sciatica, and she diagnosed and treated the cause over a number of weeks. She has also followed up to make sure I am still well, and given me exercises to do to prevent it reoccurring. I have recommended SRM to others, without hesitation."
Marion Lee
"My Son has Cerebral Palsy and John has been treating him for several years now. John has a very calm way about him, my Son also has Autism so sessions don't always go to plan but John adapts quickly and gets the best out of each session. He always explains things in simple terms and I have found his advice to be invaluable over the years. He has been and will continue to be, an important part of my Son's physical progress."
Jason Whitlock
"I visited Jo for a Scar Tissue Therapy after having my second c-section. After the first few sessions I could already see dramatic improvement in the appearance of my scar but the true test was when I returned to competitive swimming where I had previously (after my first c-section) suffered a lot of pain across my lower abdomen and behind my scar. Jo had explained how scar tissue can attach to muscle and demonstrated selection of massage techniques for me to try at home. This was fantastic. Then a year later I returned for more advice alongside another scar tissue treatment where she introduced the silicone cupping along the scar to loosen the scar tissue from the abdominal muscles that had finally repaired themselves. I was sold! I bought some cups there and then and haven’t looked back! I cannot recommend Jo enough! And John’s videos online are ALWAYS so helpful if you’re ever unsure or want to try a bit of tlc at home! Thank you team!"
Gemma Dobbin
"I have been seeing John for over 7 years now. I have multiple health issues and injuries, and John (in conjunction with my personal trainer) has managed to keep me mobile despite all the challenges my body has thrown him over the years. I see John every month, and it has honestly been a life changer. Highly recommend Advance SRM."
Ruth Lewis
"I've been seeing Jo for pregnancy and post natal treatments for 2 years and would highly recommend her to anyone in the same position. Jo takes the time to understand what is needed from each session - whether that's general relaxation or working on specific issues like PGP and sending across management plans between our appointments."
