I have had it a few different times firstly for backache/shoulder pain and more recently to try to move my baby from Breach position when I had to have him induced for starting chemo - it worked. I would also have it after each chemo last year to help with general well being.
I would highly recommend it - even if you just want to de-stress it can really help.
