Post-natal Massage

This treatment offers gentle, targeted support during recovery after childbirth. It is designed to address both the physical and emotional changes of the postpartum period, providing relaxation, pain relief, and a chance for self-connection after a huge life event.

Physically, postnatal massage can help relieve tension in the areas often affected by the demands of pregnancy, childbirth and early parenthood. Treatment can:

• Ease muscle tension particularly in the neck, shoulders, back, and hips
• Improve circulation
• Reduce swelling
• Aid the body’s natural healing process

The emotional benefits can be just as valuable. The postpartum period can bring a wide range of feelings and adjustments, so the nurturing and supportive environment of a postnatal massage session can offer a much-needed pause. Postnatal massage may help to:

• Reduce stress
• Ease symptoms of postpartum depression and anxiety
• Improve sleep quality
• Promote a deeper sense of overall well-being.

When can I book for a postnatal massage?

It’s important to get approval from your healthcare professional before booking. If there have been complications, massage may not be recommended until after your 6-week check-up. In cases of an uncomplicated delivery or a straightforward C-section, you may be able to receive massage sooner, with care and possible adaptations.
