Massage cushions can at times provide a higher comfort level when compared to a flat table massage or a massage on the floor.  Cushions are not just comfortable; they alleviate pressure on the breasts, abdomen and lower back.  They allow you to breathe freely and easily as they put minimal pressure on the body.  Massage cushions are found to be extremely helpful for pregnant women as these provide support and access to difficult areas of the body.
