How does the treatment work?
Upon arrival, we briefly discuss how you're feeling, where your complaints are, and if there's anything special to consider. Then you make yourself comfortable on the BodyCushion or in a side-lying position, depending on your preference and stage of pregnancy.
The therapist works with adjusted pressure and techniques that are safe for you and your baby. We focus on the areas where you benefit most: back, shoulders, legs, feet or neck. After the treatment, you have time to relax with a cup of tea.
