After birth
Postnatal Massage
For Your Recovery After Birth
Postnatal massage is designed to support your recovery and well-being after childbirth. It can help relieve common postpartum discomforts such as neck and shoulder tension, back pain, muscle fatigue, and the physical strain associated with feeding, carrying, and caring for your baby.
Massage provides a nurturing space for rest and recovery, helping to ease stress, promote relaxation, and support the body's natural healing process after birth. It may also help relieve headaches and migraines.
The timing and intensity of gentle abdominal or scar work depend on your birth experience, current well-being, and individual healing. Following a Caesarean birth, treatment begins only once the scar has fully healed and you have received medical clearance.
Postnatal massage is tailored to your individual needs and stage of recovery.
