Can you use a massage chair during late pregnancy and labor?

Hi ladies, I was just wondering if it is safe to use a massage chair during the last few weeks of prenancy (im 38 weeks) and also while you are in labor? I have one at home and use it every now and then but it seems to get the baby moving a lot. I also took a hospital tour and they had a spa tub and massage chair but one of the nurses said the massage chair cant be used during labor due to the electrical currents or something. She said it was there for the support people or the nurses to use. I dont believe her and just wondered if anyones hospital had one to use and if you used it.

I think the nurse is correct. Some doctors also will tell you not to use an electric blanket. This was found to be a problem back in the mid-90s for some women and rather than risk it, they recommend that no pregnant women use them. Many massage chairs say right on the chair that they are not to be used by pregnant women. It is the electric current, not the vibration, that is the perceived problem.

What would I have to do to set up a "booth" in which to give chair massage outside a business?

I live in North Idaho and am taking a Massage Therapy course in Washington. What are the requirements for massaging in Idaho? And what would I have to do to go about giving chair massage as a simple side job?

I know that you are not required to be licensed in Idaho, but I would like to know if there are ANY laws at all that would prevent me from doing this.

Thanks in advance!

Just need a business license. Then your ready to go.

Can I use an electric massage chair while pregnant?

I just got a massage chair that you strap onto any seat and plug it in. It heats up and vibrates all over. I am five months pregnant…. Is it ok to use it???
Also, i heard somewhere there might be an electric current that’s in the chair the that can be bad for you while pregnant. Is that true?

IJoy Ottoman-leg and foot massage on demand

Your feet and legs could be the most overburdened parts of your body.  Unlike your hands, arms, and neck, your feet and legs receive the most jarring impacts when you walk, run or jump.  Your feet and legs carry your entire body’s weight when walking or when standing.

You can also rotate the iJoy Ottoman to a vertical angle or to the best angle for optimum results whenever you want to recline.  You can also use it as an ordinary ottoman when you are done with the massage.

Your iJoy Ottoman with Human Touch Technology® features the following qualities:

• Its Human Touch Technology can simultaneously massage your leg calves and feet.

Homedics Massage Chair Comparison

Homedics Massage Chair Comparison Chart

Here’s a comprehensive chart comparing between the Homedics Massage Chair namely;

1. Homedics SBM-200H Therapist Select Shiatsu Massaging Cushion with Heat
2. Homedics SBM-300H Therapist Select Shiatsu PLUS Massaging Cushion with Heat
3. Homedics QRM-400H Therapist Select Quad-Roller Massaging Cushion with Heat

It’s almost like the three are identical but if you look closely on the different features of each cushion, you should be able to figure out which of them would suit your preference.  Of course, the QRM-400H  is the pricier one since it has the quad roller mechanism on it.

But do you really need the massaging action of quad feature?  Basically all them does the Shiatsu motion and it differentiate between the amount of motion style you’re looking for.
