I had a fantastic Hydrotherm massage today with Rick Stone of Stones Hydrotherm clinic in Lewes. He turned up at home with everything ready and I just had to lie there and be pampered. Now 37 weeks pregnant, with an enormous tummy its great to have someone give me that extra bit of support with my circulation and work on my 'cankles' as muy students are so supportively calling them.
The reason that both Si and I reccommend this kind of massage to our students, is that it's all about resting in and supporting. One of the reasons that Hydrotherm is so good as a pregnancy massage is that you are able to lie on your back not your side or front and on top of large warm water bottles so your muscles are more relaxed when worked on. Because you are being massaged from below you have to completely let go and rest in - I have to say, it is so far the most luxurious Jue Shou practice I have found!
Unlike a lot of massage, Hydrotherm can be done throughout the pregnancy. For more info contact Rick on 07722 005905
