Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy massages relieve the typical discomforts of pregnancy, such as swelling and tiredness, allowing you to fully enjoy this special phase. Before the massage, a health assessment is done to ensure the treatment meets your needs and is appropriate for your stage of pregnancy.
TOPSPA's pregnancy massages use manual lymphatic drainage techniques to reduce fluid retention and relieve pain in strategic areas, such as the lower back, sciatic region, and legs.
Pregnancy massages also help reduce anxiety and stress levels that some mothers experience during this time, providing a pleasant sense of serenity through physical and mental rebalancing.
To fully enjoy the benefits of a pregnancy massage, the sessions are personalized according to your preferences.

Everything you need to know about Pregnancy Massages
Can pregnancy massages be performed at any stage of pregnancy?
Our pregnancy massages are designed to be performed from the 3rd month of pregnancy and also during the breastfeeding phase. They are personalized to adapt to the different needs of each woman.
Pregnancy massages are recommended for those suffering from heavy, swollen legs and fluid retention.
They are ideal for relieving muscle tension caused by fatigue and stress, both before and after childbirth.
What do you need for the day of the massage?
On the day of your massage, we recommend arriving about 30 minutes before the session starts.
At the reception, you will receive instructions regarding the changing room and the locker for storing your belongings, where you will also have a robe, slippers, and disposable underwear available.
If it’s more comfortable for you, you can bring your swimwear for use in the facilities as well as for the massage.
Does pregnancy massage also help the baby?
The bond between the mother and baby begins in the womb. The sensations the mother experiences are also felt by the baby.
By contributing to the emotional and physical balance of the mother, pregnancy massages also help the baby feel more calm and happy.
How often can I get a pregnancy massage?
To experience effective results, we recommend having 1 to 2 sessions per week.
Should I indicate which stage of pregnancy I am in when making the appointment?
When booking your massage, it is advisable to inform how many weeks pregnant you are, as well as any physical or health conditions.
This way, the session can be personalized and tailored to your specific condition and needs.
Does pregnancy massage help with weight loss?
We offer pregnancy massages that use drainage techniques, which help eliminate toxins and accumulated fluids, resulting in weight reduction after the session.
Is the spa safe for pregnant women?
The spa for pregnant women is safe as long as you respect your body's limitations. Enjoying moments of relaxation and taking care of yourself during pregnancy brings a range of physical and mental benefits.
However, you should follow medical recommendations regarding the use of certain facilities, such as Turkish baths or saunas, which may affect blood pressure.
