At a glance
Before a massage or hammam, tell the team about pregnancy, heart or blood-pressure conditions, recent surgery or injury, skin conditions, allergies, diabetes, epilepsy and medications affecting circulation or heat tolerance. Navitas Spa adapts pressure, heat, products and duration; in pregnancy, sauna, steam, hot stone and deep pressure are avoided and gentle massage is possible after the first trimester with your doctor's agreement.
Pregnancy
- No sauna, steam room, hot stone or deep-pressure work
- Gentle side-lying massage possible after the first trimester with your doctor's agreement
- Some essential oils avoided — tell us before an aromatherapy massage
- The hammam foam massage is possible at a lower temperature and shorter length; ask us
Other conditions
| Condition | What we do |
|---|---|
| Heart, blood pressure | Shorter heat sessions, no sudden cold, medium pressure |
| Recent surgery, injury | Avoid the area; may postpone deep work |
| Skin conditions, sunburn | No scrub on affected skin; gentle products |
| Diabetes | Care with heat and pressure on the feet |
| Epilepsy | Avoid certain oils; heat with care |
| Blood thinners | Lighter pressure |
| Allergies | Unscented, nut-free products available |
Our rule
We would rather say no to a treatment than harm a guest. If we are unsure, we suggest the gentle alternative — and there is always one.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a doctor's note?
Not usually; for pregnancy and serious conditions we ask that you have your doctor's agreement.
Will you keep my health information?
Only for the duration of your treatments unless you ask us to keep it for future visits — see the privacy notice.
