In my opinion, postpartum massage is just as important if not more important than prenatal massage. Your body has just been through a major ordeal and it will take a while for you to recover. Making sure that you are taking care of your body as it heals itself can be instrumental to shortening recovery time and preventing long-term issues from developing.
Many people ask me if I only work with people who are depressed. The term postpartum merely means the period of time following the birth. Postpartum Depression is a form of clinical depression that occurs during the postpartum period. Although it can be used to help with symptoms of depression, postpartum or postnatal massage is great for many other things.
In most cases, postpartum massage can help reduce pain related to both vaginal and Cesarean births. It may also decrease symptoms of postpartum depression and provide you with a way to better cope with any negative feelings. Massage can also help to facilitate the healing processes related to surgical scars as well as retrain your muscles for correct posture and alignment.
New parents are often so focused on taking care of their babies, that it can be hard for them to take time out to care for themselves. While this is understandable, it is just as important for you to heal and recover, or if nothing else, just to focus on yourself for an hour.

I came for a postnatal massage about 10 weeks postpartum and was very impressed with Amanda's professionalism and knowledge.
You won't get that "hurts so good" feeling that I am used to at other places, but I still left feeling as though she had fixed many knots and trouble areas with her gentler techniques including several stretches for the trouble zones I named and she also spent a lot of time on the related muscles - for example she did some chest opening to help with my tight upper back.
I would absolutely book with Amanda again for my future massage needs!

Haven't recently given birth? Perhaps you would be more interested in one of our other services.
