Barriers to prenatal care: What are they?

by Bach Bone Inc.

 

Many professionals have the ability to include prenatal care into their practices.

Prenatal care is included in the curriculum of Physiotherapists, Chiropractors, Massage Therapists, Acupuncturists, Osteopaths, etc., yet often many practitioners shy away from it.

Is it the lack of confidence or training, or maybe the clinic environment is lacking accommodative tools? Prenatal care can be accessible and comfortable but something is standing in the way.

Are you comfortable in treating prenatal clients in your practice, why or why not?

What are the barriers that must be over come to expand your prenatal practice?

  • Similar to Mandy, I found performing side lying massages to be hard on my body.
    I also found side lying massage a bit awkward because it seemed uncomfortable for a pregnant lady to be lying on her side for the duration of a massage. I basically also avoided the prenatal clients.
    Now, the clinic I am at actually has one of these bach bone cushions and it make giving a prenatal massage way easier and it also seems less awkward because the client generally seems more comfortable.
