The new Oakworks Pregnancy Bolster was designed specifically with input from professionals in the massage therapy field and using our years of extensive knowledge in body mechanics. This unique product is designed to fit any size client in any stage of pregnancy and anyone who can't lie on their stomach. Designed to ergonomically support the individual lying on their side, the intuitive design is easy to understand and use. The bolster is made from super soft and supportive AeroCel™ padding to conform to the body. The shape of the Pregnancy Bolster helps keep the body in alignment and offers good access for the therapist. If you are pregnant or have ever been pregnant, you can attest to how hard it is to get comfortable during the last trimester. The Pregnancy Bolster head rest, arm rest and leg rest are all adjustable to enable you to achieve perfect positioning and making this product well suited to clients of all sizes from short to tall.

Pregnancy massage is growing in popularity as more moms-to-be discover the healthy healing benefits a professional massage therapist can provide. We are very excited about the enormous benefits the Pregnancy Bolster can offer. Lower back pain and spinal pain are two of the commonly reported problems expectant mothers face. A specially trained licensed massage therapist can help lessen both of these.


You can visit our website at http://www.massagetables.com/massage-accessories/Pregnancy-Bolster.asp to get more information and to purchase one today! We also offer many other bolsters that have been widely used with pregnancy massage. Among those are the BodyCurve™ bolster and the Butterfly Cushion™. Each of these massage therapy bolsters can provide comforting support during your next massage therapy session. They're also great to take with you on long trips for supporting the head, neck and lower back.
