Pregnancy & Postpartum Massage Equipment:  Orthopedic Cushion & Electric Massage Table

Picture
side-lying massage is the position most commonly used in pregnancy massage. . It takes pressure off the shoulder and hips, and keeps the spine, neck, & hips aligned.

This is the back view of the side-lying cushion.

The cushion also lets you lay face down/ on your belly without putting any pressure on your belly or breasts. It adjusts as your your belly grows and most women can use this position into their third trimester.

The massage table is electric and quickly adjusts to different heights and angles with a controller. After about 20 weeks in pregnancy, laying flat on your back during massage can decrease circulation in mother and baby, so lifting the table to an angle of 45 degrees is recommended.

When a baby is breech, Midwives recommend that women lay in a decline position to help baby turn. This table is easily adjusted to that angle, and I can use this position during prenatal massage to help make room for baby to turn.
