Yes, studies have shown massage can help to soothe anxiety and stress. But it’s worth remembering that a massage isn’t a substitute for medical treatment if your anxiety is caused by a mental health condition, like clinical depression.
A relaxing massage has been proven to relieve stress by stimulating your parasympathetic nervous system.

No, try our specialist pregnancy massage instead, bookable from your second trimester.
Hold off on getting a massage if you’re unwell with a fever or flu-like symptoms, or if you have a contagious skin disease. Therapists have the right to cancel your treatment if they think it will harm you or them in any way.
If you have a health condition and you’re not sure about booking a massage, consult your GP for advice beforehand.
