The Side-Lying Position and the Bolsters

Our prenatal service uses a side-lying position with supportive pillows and bolsters. This differs from the face-down arrangement you may remember from another massage.

The details of your support deserve a conversation. Before booking, tell us if you have concerns about getting onto the table, lying on either side, or changing position. Ask what arrangements are available for the appointment you want.

If your doctor or midwife has given you positioning instructions, share them before the session. This page does not determine whether massage or a particular position is suitable for you.

You do not need to arrive knowing the names of the equipment. Describe the practical concern instead. For example, tell us that you want to discuss support for your arm, or that turning from one side to the other is difficult. Confirm the setup with your therapist before treatment begins.

We cannot promise an exact pillow arrangement from a web page. Ask which supports will be used and how you can request an adjustment. If you are considering a longer appointment, discuss the positioning before choosing a duration.

Questions about comfort are useful booking questions. Questions about symptoms or medical restrictions belong with your healthcare provider. Bring their guidance into the conversation rather than relying on a general description of prenatal massage.

Call (801) 288-1118 to discuss the appointment. J Massage SLC is at 677 S 200 W, Suite #C, in Salt Lake City. We are open daily from 10am to 10pm.
