Pregnancy massage in Zurich
Wellness & therapeutic massage for mother and child
The pregnancy massage in our clinic in Zurich offers a gentle, revitalising and at the same time beneficial break from stress and everyday stress through touch, warmth and deep relaxation. Depending on your needs, the whole body or just parts of it are massaged with dynamic strokes, stretches, kneading and variable pressure.
The basis of our pregnancy massage technique is certainly the classical massage, but it is also influenced by Lomi-Lomi grips, energetic massage, foot reflexology, craniosacral therapy and other techniques and every one of our therapeuts has a different set of skills and techniques. This results in an intuitive pregnancy massage, which we adapt according to your physical and mental condition and incorporate various techniques and styles. A pure foot reflex zone massage is also possible.
The massage can be for pregnant women a wonderful moment of silence, peace and connection with the own body and at the same time it creates space for contact with the baby. To have a feeling for one’s own body and the connection to the child are important support for the forthcoming birth. After the pregnancy massage, many expectant mothers tell me that the baby feels very calm and relaxed.
A treatment usually lasts between 60 and 75 minutes.
You can arrange shorter or longer treatments with me individually.
The massages are recognised by health insurance companies.
Attention to detail
We work with fine biological oils and pleasant soothing music while massaging. Before and after the treatment we leave you alone in the room, so that you can relax and get dressed in peace. During the massage your whole body is covered, except for the area we massage. Your intimate zone remains covered at all times.
The pregnancy massage is usually performed on the side and/or on a high back position. In the beginning of the second trimester, it is sometimes still possible to lie on your stomach with a special pillow, depending on comfort.
As a rule, we treat from the 12th week of pregnancy onwards and not high-risk pregnancies. Exceptions are possible with prior consent.

The pregnancy massage can have the following positive effects:
- Relieves tension and hardening in the muscles.
- Blood circulation in all muscle and tissue layers – stimulation of the metabolism.

Pregnancy is both physically and mentally exhausting and unfamiliar to the body and mind. A massage during pregnancy can help to make this exciting experience a little easier and more relaxed.
The woman’s pelvis opens up and changes its position during pregnancy. This creates new structures in the interaction of musculature and statics. These changes can lead to blockages or congestion, which can be released through massage.
Tensions in the shoulder, neck and back area can be relieved or even completely dissolved. In addition, the joints, which are stressed by the additional weight, are relieved.
Massaging with oil improves the elasticity of the skin and targeted massage techniques on the legs can reduce any water retention that may be present. The general improvement in blood circulation after the massage can also counteract headaches and sleep disorders.
Acupuncture in pregnancy
As a complement to pregnancy massage or as a stand-alone therapy, acupuncture in pregnancy is a good choice. Many pregnant women have been helped by acupuncture to regain more balance and supported in common pregnancy complaints, such as: Nausea, back pain, edema or sleep disturbances. Emotional support, turning the baby, birth preparation and induction of labor are other applications of acupuncture.
Our TCM therapist Gordana Philipp will be happy to accompany you through your pregnancy.
