Frequently asked questions about Prenatal Massage in Lisbon
Is it safe to have massage during pregnancy?
Yes. Prenatal massage performed by a therapist with specialized training is safe and beneficial from the 2nd trimester. Diana avoids contraindicated areas during pregnancy (ankles, abdominal region) and works only with gentle techniques and safe positions for mother and baby.
From what week of pregnancy can I have prenatal massage?
From the 2nd trimester (13th week). In the 1st trimester, as a precaution and for safety, most therapists don't perform massage due to the increased risk of miscarriage during this period. Diana is available to clarify any doubts before booking.
In what position is the massage performed during pregnancy?
The session is performed in lateral position (on the side), supported by specific pillows for maximum comfort and safety. This position allows working on areas of greatest tension without pressure on the abdomen or compromising blood circulation for mother and baby.
Does prenatal massage help with pregnancy back pain?
Yes. Lower back and sciatic pain are very common complaints during pregnancy due to weight gain and change in center of gravity. Prenatal massage effectively relieves these pains through gentle techniques focused on the lumbar and pelvic region. Many pregnant women in Lisbon report significant relief.
How much does prenatal massage cost in Lisbon?
At WellZen by Diana, in Saldanha, prenatal massage costs €55 (55 min), €75 (70 min) or €85 (90 min). We recommend 70 or 90 min duration for complete work and moments of deep relaxation during pregnancy.
How often should I have massage during pregnancy?
One session per month is an excellent maintenance routine. In the last months of pregnancy, biweekly sessions can help prepare the body for childbirth and relieve growing discomfort caused by additional weight. Diana can recommend the ideal frequency for your specific case.
