This is the most comprehensive pregnancy massage DVD, one of our best sellers! Filled with hundreds of techniques, this detailed, more than 3 hours program will help you become a skilled pregnancy massage practitioner. Clearly filmed and enhanced with computer graphics, this DVD will lead you step by step through every aspect of Pregnancy Massage from beginning to end.

This program also includes client intake and physician referral forms that you can print out on your computer, and use in your practice.

This DVD is like a reference book for pregnancy massage where you can look up conditions (for example, diastasis recti) and find out how to work with clients with these conditions. But rather than just a description on the flat page, you get a demonstration by the teacher. The teacher is Leslie Stager, a licensed massage therapist and registered nurse who has served as a labor and delivery nurse, childbirth educator and midwifery clinic nurse. She generously shares her expansive knowledge and skills on this sophisticated video, elegantly produced by Real Bodywork. Stager leads you through all aspects of pregnancy massage. As she discusses the physiological changes of the mother’s body, they are revealed from the inside using computer enhanced models of the progressing pregnancy. Stager demonstrates massage methods using side-lying and semi-reclining positioning as well as techniques for a full list of conditions that might develop such as sciatica, shortness of breath and edema. Her presentation style is easy to follow and comprehend. This DVD even includes physician referral and client intake forms you can print from your computer to use in your practice. I highly recommended this DVD.

Amazon customers review:

Great DVD! Lots of useful information & practical sequences for the beginner and experienced therapist. I definitely recommend this DVD if you (qualified therapists) do not have time to attend a course or sit and read pages and pages on this subject. Great for reviewing over & over, good confidence boost!

As a NCBTMB certified Massage Therapist who also did advanced work at the Boulder College of Massage Therapy in Pregnancy Massage of over 100 hours, this DVD offers a comprehensive knowledge of working in sideline position. I learned many new techniques while watching this video, and I highly recommend it for anyone working the in field. I cannot imagine any other DVD being more comprehensive or knowledgeable than this one. Everything you need is right here including contraindications on pressure points to avoid. The DVD is highly professional in every area.
