Hi can anbody recommend any good books on massaging pregnant ladies please. I am trying to find a course at the moment but in the meantime would like to be able to read up on this - or even a good video/DVD. Much appreciated thanks.
RE: books on pregnancy massage
bexx, a good simple one that is also suitable for couples is Mother Massage - Elaine Stillerman. She also has another book that is available for pre-order that I will check out.
Also Carole Osbourne-Sheets - Pre and Perinatal Massage Therapy is OK - but is American and somewhat conservative.
I also highly recommend Shiatsu for Midwives by Suzanne Yates - not specifically a massage book - but very detailed and informative. Suzanne also runs some very good courses - see[link= http://www.wellmother.org ]www.wellmother.org[/link]
Hope that helps

Hi InTouch I just wanted to say a belated thankyou for recommending the Elaine Stillerman book. I have finally got round to ordering it today and so am looking forward to some nice reading. Thanks again x
