Best Prenatal & Postnatal Massages And Treatments, Reviewed By The Weekly

Becoming a mum is one of life’s greatest transitions. As your body grows and changes during pregnancy to accommodate a growing baby, backaches, pelvic pain and joint issues might become the norm.

Post-birth, brace yourself for commonly experienced but no less alarming issues like diastasis recti (abdominal separation), incontinence, stubborn fat accumulation, loose skin, mastitis (for those breastfeeding), postpartum hair loss, sciatica… and new aches and misalignments that come with caring for a baby.

Thankfully, the niggling discomforts can be relieved to some extent, with these prenatal and postnatal treatments designed for mums. In doing the amazing work of growing, popping and looking after a new human being, your body is at a vulnerable stage – it deserves more attention and care than you think.

Mums and mums-to-be, these award-winning massages and treatments can help soothe tired muscles, new body pains, and prep you for the toughest job called motherhood. Our pregnant and postpartum reviewers of The Weekly’s Spa Awards 2025 can attest to that.

*Prenatal treatments are usually recommended for the second trimester of pregnancy onwards, and should be done after consulting your obgyn. Some spas do not advise undergoing treatments a few weeks before your expected due date.

**Postnatal treatments should be done after consulting your obgyn. The timeline varies for each individual, depending on factors like the mode of delivery and rate of recovery.
