Pregnancy and childbirth a holistic approach to massage and bodywork / Suzanne Yates ; foreword by Michele Kolakowski, Penny Bussell Stansfield ; photographers, Sherrie Keuhlein and Amanda Hartman

Pregnancy and childbirth brings together, for the first time, western and eastern approaches providing a sound amalgamation of theoretical and practical information for bodywork practitioners world-wide. It describes in detail the application of massage and shiatsu from early pregnancy, including work during labour and for the first year postnatally for the mother. This is a useful source of information for massage therapists, shiatsu practitioners, osteopaths, physical therapists, chiropractors, reflexologists, aromatherapists, acupuncturists, yoga and Pilates instructors.
