Pregnancy MassageSpecial pregnancy body cushions allow the mother-to-be to experience back massage in the face-down position again, up to full-term, to counteract muscular aches and pains along the spine. Body cushions also allow massage in the side-laying position which is particularly effective in the 2nd trimester utilizing specific stretches to mobilize the sacro-iliac joints and expand the rib cage to accept the growing uterus.
Pregnancy massage targets low back pain, hip pain and sciatica by releasing tight gluteal muscles, tendons and ligaments. This relieves pain and improves blood flow to the lower extremities to resolve leg cramping a common condition associated with pregnancy.
