Professional Use

Tired of BULKY pregnancy tables and contraptions that cost HUNDREDS of dollars?
Are you limited by your current pregnancy cushions or table?
Are you putting your clients on a mound of pillows to provide massage therapy or adjustments?
Are you frustrated by the limitations your current pregnancy cushion or table has for various body types during pregnancy, and breast support?

Mommy Love has the solution for  Massage Therapists, Physical Therapists and Chiropractors - The Sophie Prone Pregnancy Cushion and The Stelly-Belly Side Lying Pregnancy Cushion! 

The Sophie

The Sophie is the first clinically accepted, patented pregnancy cushion on the market that allows you several options with your clients. The Sophie, in combination with the support blocks and head cushion, can be altered to allow treatments for the various body types during pregnancy. Plus, The Sophie is available with a retail version that can allow your clients to continue their therapy at home. The Sophie is sealed with a Latex Free spray that is easy to sterilize after each use.

Each Sophie comes with Velcro attachments that alter your cushion to fit your individual client’s needs. You can easily move the blocks forward, in, out or back to accommodate your client’s growing uterus for comfort and treatment. Unlike other competitive pillows, The Sophie has two areas for additional breast comfort for your clients.

The Sophie comes with one main cushion, two side support blocks and a head cushion.  Optional covers are available.

The Stelly-Belly

Small and compact, The Stelly-Belly fits easily on every massage table! Great for in and out of your treatment rooms! The Stelly Belly folds up for easy storage or transport. Utilize the back support and pregnancy wedge simultaneously, or individually, during treatment to accommodate your clinical needs. The Stelly-Belly Belly support cushion by Mommy Love is clinically sprayed and sealed with a latex free spray. The Stelly-Belly Cushion can be used in combination with Mommy Love Wrap/Cover for discretion and comfort to fit all of your client’s individual needs! Optional covers are available.

Massage Therapy

Why pay hundreds of dollars for a bulky pregnancy table or cushion?  The Sophie is designed for all Massage Therapists to treat their clients at home, or at the spa or clinic.  No more mounds of pillows, no more bulky tables or cushions that cost HUNDREDS of dollars.  The Sophie allows EVERY MASSAGE TABLE to become a Pregnancy Table!  This useful device is great for Therapists who enjoy their current table, but have a pregnant client population whose needs can’t be adequately met, or feel a pregnancy table takes away from the comfort of non-pregnant clients!

Some Massage Therapists find problems with pregnancy tables with CUT OUTS.  Here are some issues that could affect your pregnant clients:

• There may be strains to the lumbar, uterine and pelvic structures
• The SI joints can be rotated
• There may increased strain on the sacrouterine ligaments
• The posterior musculature is shortened
• Lumbar vertebrae and lumbosacral junction may be compressed and anteriorly displaced.

The Sophie doesn't cause problems associated with pressure from gravity on these types of tables!  Plus, The Sophie costs hundreds of dollars less!

Now with The Sophie, expectant mothers-to-be can enjoy the soothing comfort of a FULL BODY MASSAGE!  No more drop tables that put unwanted pressure on the spine.  The Sophie allows you to be able to adjust the product during your client’s pregnancy, and for the different body types of pregnant moms.

The Sophie is made out of dense polyethylene foam and coated with a Latex Free coating, which allows you to sterilize the product after every use!  The cover acts like a sling for the growing uterus and allows you, as a Therapist, to access your pregnant client in the prone position!

Physical Therapy

Physical Therapists are challenged daily to provide safe, cost effective, forms of therapy for their pregnant population.  The Sophie allows Physical Therapists an easy alternative to use on their existing physical therapy tables, without buying a special table for their pregnant population, plus, The Sophie can be purchased for home use for your clients.  Now you can have your expecting clients lie on a safe, affordable pregnancy cushion that gives them options for therapy inside and outside of the office!

Chiropractor

Chiropractic care is absolutely safe during pregnancy.  Many OB/GYN's will recommend Chiropractic care due to the effectiveness in eliminating, reducing and managing low back pain for pregnant women.

Manipulation of the SI joint as well as the lumbar joints is a bit different with pregnancy. When pregnant, a woman's body releases a hormone called relaxin that affects all ligaments, but specifically pelvic ligaments to allow for the expansion of the pelvis and birth canal. When a woman starts to "show" around the fourth to fifth month, it is important to stop side posture adjustments and move to more conservative manipulative techniques such as prone and supine adjustments or instrument assisted adjustments. This is because the myofascial slings in the pelvis can become torqued or twisted in a manner that actually increases labor difficulty and restricts the movement of the baby in the birth canal.  Also, the belly is becoming larger and will obstruct normal patient positioning for that type of adjustment.

The Sophie Professional version is an excellent tool to be used for your pregnant population.  Plus, The Sophie can be offered to all of your clients for stomach sleepers at home! The Sophie can be used without your current drop table.  Most clients do not like the feeling of having their stomachs suspend through a drop table.  No matter what equipment you currently have in your office, the Sophie is a great tool that every Chiropractor should have for their pregnant clients!
