Benefits of Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy Massage

Postpartum Massage

After the baby is born, massage remains a critical part of the mother’s care. Postpartum massage focuses on restoring the body to its pre-pregnancy health, alleviating the demands of breast feeding and the physical and emotional stresses of carrying and caring for a newborn.

Massage Speeds Recovery

Massage therapy speeds recovery by restoring tone to the muscular and connective tissue, shifting body weight to its original distribution, it tones overstretched areas of the skin, increases circulation which works to remove excess fluids, reduces swelling, nourishes and nurtures the whole body. It can speed recovery by relieving sore muscles and helping the mother relax more easily. Abdominal massage shrinks the uterus and relieves subcutaneous scar tissue. Massage at this stage promotes relaxation and pain relief.

Postpartum Massage Eases Muscle Tension & Stress

New mothers often experience stress from responsibilities of caring for a newborn baby. Postpartum massage eases muscle tension and stress. Sleep deprivation, hormonal changes, and postpartum depression are all positively impacted by massage. Specialized attention is paid to the back, neck, legs, feet and abdomen during this massage.

The Serenity of Light Swedish Esalen

Back pain is extremely common due to breastfeeding and carrying a new baby. Light Swedish Esalen massage strokes encourage blood circulation, lymphatic fluid flow, and ease tired muscles. The serenity of therapeutic touch provides a time to relax, let go, and feel good about regaining health, strength and vitality. It is easier to meet the needs of an infant when you feel good about yourself.
