The Maternity table can also be used at home and what better way for a partner to feel involved in a pregnancy than to provide some gentle massage therapy.
If using the table at home, we would recommend that you use only Swedish massage techniques, which involves long strokes over tight muscles. It's best to avoid deep tissue massage and other techniques that might pose a circulation or blood pressure risk, especially when massaging the calves and legs. (Remember, a woman's blood volume doubles during pregnancy.) Always ensure the pregnant body is placed in a safe and comfortable position. After 22 weeks, lying on your back should be avoided because it can put pressure on a deep blood vessel that is important for carrying blood and nutrients to your baby.
Please Note: Before carrying out any home massage during pregnancy or indeed when visiting any professional therapist, always consult with your doctor or health visitor to make sure it is the right thing for you and ensure you understand the best techniques and safest positions for you.
