Children are the joy of their life for many people. But women carry the burden of giving birth.
I think that nobody is more in need of a massage than a pregnant woman. And expectant mothers body changes in so many ways. Overall it gets heavier. The posture shifts. That causes a kiss and the neck, the shoulders, and the back.
However for many pregnant women getting a real massage has been impossible for a long time. Just because of the fact that in advanced stages of pregnancy they are not comfortable laying on their stomach with the face down.

The good news is that now there are pregnancy massage tables or prenatal massage tables as they’re also sometimes called.

So, what exactly is the difference between a standard massage table and a pregnancy massage table?

The difference is not that big at all. Basically a pregnancy massage table is a standard massage table with recesses for the breasts and belly. There is a cut out in the massage table that accommodates the stomach area, and the breasts. This cut out his cushioned in a certain way that makes it comfortable for pregnant woman.

It’s really a pretty simple and straightforward solution, but it makes a very big difference in the experience off a pregnant woman.

They can now get a really relaxing massage, where they can just let go of all the tensions and aches that troubled them.

There also is a “plug” that comes with the massage table. This plug can be put into the cut-out area and it fits in just perfectly. So that a pregnancy massage table can also be used for a normal massage.

Of course the manufacturing off such a table takes more effort. And the demand for pregnancy massage tables is also much lower than for normal massage tables. That is why manufacturers still charge a hefty premium price for pregnancy massage tables. While it is possible to get quality massage tables nowadays for as low as sometimes $150, if you find a special sale, pregnancy massage tables still a retail for between 500 to 900 US dollars.
But you usually also get premium quality for that money. For example oftentimes the frame is longer and wide
There might be a stomach brace to accommodate various stages of pregnancy. A multilayer cushioning system is also often part of the package. All these extras are often included because expectant mothers need the extra comfort.

Before the introduction off maternity massage tables the only way he and expectant mother could really get a massage was by using special cushions and positioning.

So this is really an investment that makes mostly sense for massage therapists who specialize in prenatal birth care. Leading manufacturers off pregnancy massage tables are Leaving Earth Crafts, Custom Craft Works, Touch America and CloseHorizon.
