Side Lying Massage Draping for Pregnancy

[BirthMassage]

That's alot of work for the client and the practitioner, unless you are going to be doing extensive therapeutic work for a particular issue on that leg. As perinatal massage instructor/author/specialist, I would recommend a much easier. secure draping, that does not require the woman's participation. I will have to post a video of that method! Until I can do that, you can learn it on my comprehensive Mastering Pregnancy Massage video that shows it all in detail at Touch For Birth.com

It doesn't actually take that long, people, it's a demonstration. They go slow so that you can see what they're doing.

at my school we place all pillows first, including leg. also, we put the "huggy pillow" under the sheet

I don't understand the time concerns.. obviously with practice (and hopefully you have plenty before performing massage professionally) you would have this drape not in 10 seconds, not 3 minutes. The video is taking it's time to introduce to the draping technique so you can learn to do it right!

Well obviously prenatal massage has more protocols to ensure that boundaries are respected and nothing is being exposed. Demo vids are always going to show things like this in a slower and more detailed manner. An experienced and knowledgable LMT will do draping like this in as little as 30 seconds. If it takes YOU 3 minutes to do this, id say go back to school or get some supportive instruction from a fellow colleague.

great refresher thank you! I was preg in school and this can be incooperated into a 50min massage it really only takes a min. and believe me preg women jus want some form of relaxation and any massage feels amazing!

[karibe05]

this would take too much time away from a 50 min session

It's slightly different from the technique I learned in school, more steps in the process, but much more secure, I think.  Thank you!
