This is the third edition of a highly successful guide to using massage therapy through all stages of the birth process, from pregnancy, through labor and birth, and into the long postpartum period.
It is primarily for massage therapists, but is also intended for physical therapists, other manual therapists and bodyworkers, nurses and midwives, physicians and doulas – any professional who wants to integrate more therapeutic touch in their work.
The text combines what anyone who works with pregnant people needs: an exhaustive distillation of current scientific knowledge, alongside hands-on recommendations, specific techniques and business success from almost a century of the authors’ combined experience.
The reader will gain a detailed understanding of what is happening to the body during pregnancy and beyond; how massage techniques can impact those changes; and very concrete, applicable strategies for how to actually work with maternity clients to make them feel better.
Amidst this abundance of detail about what to do, the authors also explore the flipside: what therapists need to modify and avoid to ensure that our work with pregnant and postpartum clients is safe. How to recognize high-risk factors or other complications, and then how best to adjust our treatment, and how to work with medical healthcare providers throughout the process.
Chapter 1 BENEFITS: Helping Our Clients & Their Babies
Chapter 2 GUIDELINES: Massaging Safely & Effectively
Chapter 3 PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS: Caring for Your Clients & Yourself
Chapter 4 PRENATAL TECHNIQUES: Nurturing Throughout Pregnancy
Chapter 5 LABOR TECHNIQUES: Supporting a Positive Birth Experience
Chapter 6 POSTPARTUM TECHNIQUES: Facilitating Restorative Healing
Chapter 7 ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS: Working with Special Needs Clients
Chapter 8 PRACTICE CONSIDERATIONS: Growing a Satisfying Career
