Postnatal Massage
Supportive massage for the physical strain of the postpartum period, shaped around your stage of recovery, comfort and health.
Overview
About Postnatal Massage
Caring for a new baby brings new physical demands. Postnatal massage may be adapted for strain related to feeding, carrying and lifting your baby, and long periods of sitting.
Common focus areas include neck and shoulder tension, upper and lower back tension, hips and legs. Treatment always depends on your postpartum stage, comfort and health considerations, including any recovery from a caesarean birth.
Your recovery comes first
Please share your birth and recovery details with your therapist, and follow your physician’s or midwife’s guidance about when massage is appropriate. Seek medical advice promptly for heavy bleeding, fever, calf pain or swelling, or other concerns.
