Pregnancy Massage
in Knottingley
A gentle, comfort-focused massage adapted for expectant clients. Private appointment-only sessions with Jody Davies at Formula Fitness, Knottingley. Discuss your circumstances before booking.
Adapted for your body during pregnancy
Pregnancy massage is adapted to work around the changing needs of the body during pregnancy. Rather than the deeper pressure used in sports or deep tissue massage, sessions use gentler techniques focused on areas that commonly carry tension — lower back, hips, shoulders and legs.
Every session starts with a conversation about how you're feeling, what you'd like to focus on and where you are in your pregnancy. The treatment is then shaped around that, with positioning adapted for your comfort throughout.
Session pricing
Appointments available in 30, 60 or 90-minute sessions. All at the same price as standard massage treatments. Book by phone or WhatsApp — no online booking at this time.
Pregnancy massage is not a medical treatment. Please discuss your individual circumstances with Jody before booking — and let your midwife or GP know your plans.
A straightforward, comfortable session
Every appointment follows the same clear structure so you know what to expect from start to finish.
Check-in
A brief conversation about where you are in your pregnancy, how you're feeling and what you'd like to focus on. No lengthy forms — just a practical chat before you get started.
Adapted positioning
Positioning is adjusted for your comfort and stage of pregnancy throughout the session. You'll be supported and covered with a sheet at all times.
Hands-on treatment
Gentle, targeted massage on the areas you've discussed — typically lower back, hips, legs or shoulders. Pressure is adjusted to your preference and comfort level.
Aftercare advice
Practical guidance before you leave — gentle stretches, hydration reminders and what to expect in the hours after the session.
For expectant clients at any stage
Pregnancy massage is for anyone who wants gentle, hands-on support during pregnancy. You don't need a specific reason — general comfort and relaxation are perfectly good reasons to book.
Lower back and hip discomfort
The lower back and hips are among the most commonly affected areas during pregnancy. Gentle massage focused on these areas may help ease the feeling of tightness and discomfort as your body adjusts.
Shoulder and neck tension
Postural changes during pregnancy can build tension in the upper body. Gentle work on the shoulders, neck and upper back may help ease some of that load.
Leg heaviness and swelling
Leg massage can support general comfort and circulation during pregnancy. Please discuss your specific circumstances with Jody before booking, particularly if you have any concerns.
General comfort and relaxation
You don't need to be experiencing a specific issue to benefit from a gentle massage. Many expectant clients book simply to take time for themselves and support their general sense of wellbeing.
Have a conversation first
Please get in touch before booking to discuss your individual circumstances. Jody will talk through what the session involves, any relevant considerations based on your pregnancy, and help you decide if it's right for you. It's also worth letting your midwife or GP know your plans.
