What Can I Expect From a Pregnancy Massage at Ferntree Gully?
If you are a new patient at Healing Hands Osteopathy and interested in getting a pregnancy massage in Ferntree Gully, you will need to fill out a detailed patient intake form. In addition, current clinic patients experiencing their first pregnancy will have to complete an extra intake form.
A health questionnaire will be filled out at each subsequent appointment. Your therapist will usually inquire about your health and your baby’s, and request your latest blood pressure reading.
Once you get to your second trimester, you will be positioned sideways on the table – rather than face down during your appointments. This position helps to support your ligaments, and we will use various bolsters and pillows to keep you comfortable.
