Zwangerschapsmassage in Amsterdam-Oost

What should you pay attention to when booking a pregnancy massage?

A pregnancy massage is a type of massage therapy specifically designed for pregnant women . It is usually performed by a certified massage therapist trained in prenatal massage techniques . The massage therapist will use specialized techniques to address the specific needs and concerns of pregnant women , such as lower back pain and swelling in the legs and feet. Heaven Four‘s experienced masseuses specialize in pregnancy massage. The massage therapist typically uses a combination of Swedish and deep tissue massage techniques , as well as gentle stretching and rocking movements. During the massage, the woman usually lies on her side or in a semi-reclined position, with pillows and bolsters used to support her body and provide comfort. It is important to communicate with the therapist about any discomfort or concerns during the massage .

Which pillows are used during a pregnancy massage? 

The best pillow for a pregnancy massage is one that provides support and comfort to the pregnant woman ‘s changing body . Some of the most popular options include:

Pregnancy Pillow : A specially designed pillow that can be used to support the abdomen, back, and legs during the massage . Some pregnancy pillows are designed to be used between the legs, while others are designed to be used behind the back.

Wedge Pillow : A triangular pillow that can be placed under the abdomen, behind the back, or between the legs to provide support and relieve pressure.

Body Pillow : A long, narrow pillow that can be placed under the body to provide support and comfort in different positions during the massage.

Boppy Pillow : A versatile pillow that can be used to support the abdomen, back and legs during the massage .

It is important to note that the choice of pillow depends on the woman’s preference and the assessment of her needs by the masseur . It is always recommended to consult the masseur to ensure that the pillow is comfortable for the mother and suitable for the stage of pregnancy .

We use special massage cushions, bodyCushions from John Keet, for a comfortable and relaxing treatment during pregnancy.
