I used a kneeler chair at work for about half to the whole day at work for the last few months.

I found it really fantastic - it makes you sit up really straight and helps with sore shoulders etc. My employers just rented it for me, so was quite cheap I think.]]> Mon, 15 Oct 2007 18:46:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11548&PID=230109&title=massage#230109 <![CDATA[Massage : Sally I use a wheatbag at work...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11548&PID=230039&title=massage#230039 Author: lilfatty

Sally

I use a wheatbag at work ... its fantastic ... it was originally for my lower back, but lately its been draped over my shoulders and it REALLY helps (not as much as DH rubbing them when I get home ... but YKWIM)

The ingredient to avoid is Oil of Wintergreen found in products like deep heat etc, its what gives it that smell.
Check the pack but I'm pretty sure Antiflamme cream in the purple pack doesn't have it.
I'd be a bit wary of the guys in the mall, and got to a qualified therapist trained in pregnancy massage, you wont regret it.]]> Mon, 15 Oct 2007 14:10:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11548&PID=229953&title=massage#229953 <![CDATA[Massage : Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, well that&#039;s...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11548&PID=229951&title=massage#229951 Author: cuppatea

In late pregnancy they can cause all kinds of complications, early labour, extended labours and bleeding, it is also recommended not to take them at all during pregnancy unless under the guidance of a doc that knows you are pregnant. I believe nurofen etc have written on them not to take whilst pregnant. I'm not a doc but was told to avoid them by my doc, plus this is also being talked about in the deep heat thread.

Thanks Red, I'll take your advice onboard & stay well away

I like the wheat bag idea. I do have some yoga stretches in a book so they may be worth a go too.]]> Mon, 15 Oct 2007 13:34:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11548&PID=229925&title=massage#229925 <![CDATA[Massage : Hi Sally Belly, I am a massage...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11548&PID=229916&title=massage#229916 Author: Red

Hi Sally Belly, I am a massage therapist and I would recommend that you stay away from those guys in the malls, most of them are just English students with no formal massage training, also their communication is not the best! They also tend to be quite heavy handed.

Try doing a few stretches at your desk etc, maybe take a wheat bag to work and rest it on your shoulders if they are getting achey, or antiflamme is good as well for temporary relief.

Get your hubby to use the base of his hand (the boney part) rather than fingers or evenly lightly use his elbow, that should stop him complaining about getting sore fingers. Or get one of those massage tool thingies.]]> Mon, 15 Oct 2007 13:28:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11548&PID=229916&title=massage#229916 <![CDATA[Massage : I&#039;ve had a pregnancy massage...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11548&PID=229889&title=massage#229889 Author: sally belly

I've had a pregnancy massage (oh so good) but the next one isn't booked in for 2 more weeks & my shoulders are really really tight today.

I might have to rope DH into giving me one tonight. He's pretty good at them until he complains how sore his fingers are... ]]> Mon, 15 Oct 2007 13:05:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11548&PID=229889&title=massage#229889 <![CDATA[Massage : I&#039;m not sure, but I know...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11548&PID=229887&title=massage#229887 Author: cuppatea

I'm not sure, but I know that you can get massuses (sp?) that can do pregancy massage, might be better to have a look round for one of those.]]> Mon, 15 Oct 2007 13:02:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11548&PID=229887&title=massage#229887 <![CDATA[Massage : Just wondering if it&#039;s ok...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11548&PID=229883&title=massage#229883 Author: sally belly

Just wondering if it's ok for me to have a neck & shoulder massage at one of those stands set up in shopping malls? I know that it's not ok to massage some body parts (ankles??) while pregnant but surely neck & shoulders would be ok? Does anyone know for sure?
