The Mother’s Table is perfect for the pregnant woman. The oval shaped opening is large enough for the most advanced pregnancy and adjusts with a wide, comfortable, softly padded supporter. This table is comfortable during any stage of a pregnancy.
Massage for the Mother-To-Be
Many women suffer from aches and pains, stiffness and tension while they are pregnant.
During pregnancy the weight continually shifts in a woman’s body and as weight adds to a mother’s belly it can put a large strain on the back. Massage can often help relieve problems such as backache, sleeplessness, edema, headaches and other minor complaints. Before birth, back pain is extremely common in pregnancy. Poor circulation and sleeping problems may also affect pregnant women. Massage can aid the circulatory and lymphatic systems to keep blood flowing to both the mother and the baby to help reduce fatigue. A 90 minute pregnancy massage on The Mother’s Table can relieve pain, reduce swelling and create soothing effects which can help relax and calm the mother-to-be.
Energy Work for the Mother-To-Be
A gentle hands on meditation by itself or infused with different modalities will reduce emotional and physical stress and in turn will reduce or eliminate the production of stress chemicals in the body. Stress chemicals (the fight or flight response), can be harmful to the body during pregnancy. What ever style of treatment you choose combined with the comfort of a session on The Mother’s Table, can be a powerful ally in your health care regimen.
Postpartum Treatments
Postpartum treatments focus on helping to restore the woman’s body to its pre-pregnancy condition. Massage plays an important part in the restoration of the body to its normal state. It helps to realign the body weight to its original distribution. As with all massage it relieves back pain and muscle strain from breast feeding, every day activities and “new mother duties”. Energy work combined with different modalities can emotionally nourish and relieve tension and stress. A gentle hands on meditation can provide time to relax and reflect for the new mother and help her to get through postpartum blues. Regular treatments can help a woman reconnect with her new body as it returns to its pre-pregnancy state.
