Questions & Answers

t

What Is Post Partum Massage?

During pregnancy, a woman’s centre of gravity can shift and move from one end of her body to another. This may lead to some initial discomfort; however, after giving birth it could result in even further soreness.

Post-partum massage is an effective remedy for alleviating soreness caused by incisions, ligament laxity and abdominal binding. Post partum massages typically use techniques such as kneading, squeezing and stroking to relieve aches and pains associated with post partum confinement. We may also use Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) to reduce swelling and help your body heal faster.
