Postnatal massage and bodywork can relieve the stress of delivery by
facilitating recovery of the postpartum woman and providing emotional
support for the transition into motherhood.
Swedish Massage and manual lymph drainage contribute to the rehabilitation
of abdominal skin and muscles. Reflexive techniques to feet, hands, and
connective tissue address common postnatal issues like constipation,
difficulty urinating, uterine cramping, and perineal soreness.
Regular massage therapy is especially helpful for post-cesarean mothers
who are recuperating from major abdominal surgery, as well as the strain
of pregnancy. Manual lymph drainage to the incision site may speed healing
of scar tissue.
Deep tissue techniques can ease the newly attained muscle strain caused by
childcare activities.
Our therapist may help women recognize the extent of any diastus recti
and guide them toward progressive, appropriate toning exercise.
