As reviewed in MASSAGE THERAPY JOURNAL: "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."
