The bodyCushion with breastProtector and Elevator for Pregnancy
The ultimate prenatal massage equipment for body support. Provides relief from increasing pressure as the pregnancy progresses.
The Elevator attaches securely with hook and loop straps under the bodyCushion. In the late third term the Chest and Pelvic support pillows are separated, the fetus then hammocked by supple vinyl in the generous abdominal recess.
The pelvis is alleviated of impinging pressure on vessels and nerves. Back pain is relieved. Complete comfort is afforded face-down, side-lying and reclining positions. The torso is supported by suspension on the bony frame. The spine is unloaded and decompressed, alleviating pressure on nerve roots. Hemodynamics are improved for the mother-to-be and baby.
