Before each massage, there is a medical consultation. Before and after the massage, the pregnant woman’s blood pressure and the fetal heart rate are measured. For the massage, we use fittings of the renowned HABYS company, selected for pregnancy massage, facilitating the positioning of the woman during the procedure. The fittings ensure full comfort in both lying on the side and stomach, improving the effectiveness of the massage and making it easier to perform. Fittings are made of foams with optimal elasticity and resistance to deformation.
