I have a friend who is pregnant and needs massage therapy. I'm still in school for my licence but am practicing at home as I go through school. I bought this video tape to learn how to massage while keeping her comfortable and not hitting those pressure points I've heard about that can cause contractions. I learned a lot of really good techniques and there is a lot of good streching involved in this tape. I didn't use everything I learned in the video, but the table set up, posturing and foot and leg massages were what really did the trick. I'll warn you - the tape is DRY! Nothing exciting about the way these two people present. That is why it doesn't get 5 stars.

Overall - my friend/client was comfortable the entire time, felt fully relaxed and stretched when the massage was complete. I would reccommend this video. The proof is in the work and a happy client and I had a great expereince with that!

I am a pregnancy massage therapist and was excited when I saw this DVD being sold. I would imagine that the instructors would focus more on techniques. But when I watched it, I was disappointed that the bulk of the content was not technique related. Some of the techniques seemed a little rough to perform on the client. I'm not sure how my clients will take to it. A much better DVD is the one by Leslie Stager.

Very informative once you've had a basic class in Prenatal massage. I wouldn't recommend this for anyone who hasn't taken a basic Prenatal course. Great techniques and positions. I've used a couple techniques and my clients love it all. Best thing is I can watch it over and over again.
