| I'm thinking of massaging people on the floor- using a gym mat for comfort as I find the twisting around my table is wearing me out. Not to mention having to carry it around all the time.
I think this would be easier on my back, as I would be able to (can't think of a better word ...) kinda squat over people when massaging their back. I'd be able to apply even pressure and a firmer massage. Do you thinki this would be appropriate or do you think it could be misrepresented or threatening? I wouldn't actually be sitting on them - just hovering.
Carrying a portable mat would be far more comfortable than a table anyday. |

| I was on a yoga retreat in Italy recently. A masseuse was available. Amongst other forms, she practised Shiatsu on the floor on a double futon. It was marvellous. A double might be a bit heavy to tote around but a single might work?

| I prefer being massaged on the floor. You know you're going to get a good massage when you're on the floor.
For people that are uncomfortable lying prone on the floor you might want to invest in a Body Cushion. I'll find the link and add it later. |

| That's pretty cool fifi.
<--- Likes the floor anyway, and isn't too proud to admit it! |

| I agree with GJ but *OMG*, the "breast protector 5" ain't exactly flattering to us more well endowed gals even if it is more comfy *ROTFMAO*

| They think of everything, don't they?
I've been on one of these and it's really comfortable. I felt like it provided a little traction on my back, which was awesome. I keep saying I'm going to buy one of these some day because every now and then I like to sleep prone, which is very, very, very bad for the neck (since you have to turn your head to breathe). |

| I just have to add, it looks like they could protect your breasts, and mammogram them at the same time. |

|
| Perhaps we should pass that suggestion on.... my mother tells me that mammograms involve sandwiching a boob at a time between a couple of plates in a most uncomfortable manner :-(
Looking forward to that one...NOT!!

| Actually, sandwiching sounds pleasant, compared to the vise like experience I went through. And yay, I can return and get it done more often as I get older. Just another one of those perks I guess. |

| They should make a pregnancy model. I could have used that a few years back...  |

| Ahhh, but they do, Tourist! I'm pretty sure it's somewhere in the wesite.
Hopefully, someone will invent floating soon. |

| My sister in law used to always sleep on her stomach, and when she was pregnant she used to go to the beach, and dig a whole for her belly. She missed resting face down, and found a way to do it. |
