Postnatal massage is a specialised treatment focused on supporting your body after childbirth. Whether you’ve had a vaginal delivery or a C-section, the weeks and months after birth can bring physical strain, swelling, muscle tension, and fatigue.
This treatment is designed to help you feel more comfortable during postpartum recovery, in a calm, familiar home environment, without the need to travel or arrange childcare.
It’s suitable from the post-birth period onwards, depending on your comfort and circumstances, and can be adapted to your body’s changing needs.
How Postnatal Massage Can Support Postpartum Recovery
Postnatal massage focuses on areas commonly affected after pregnancy and delivery, including the back, hips, shoulders, legs, and abdomen (where appropriate).
It may help with:
- Muscle tension caused by feeding, carrying, and disrupted sleep
- Swelling and fluid retention, including gentle lymphatic techniques
- General discomfort following childbirth or a C-section
- Relaxation during a physically and emotionally demanding time
Sessions are tailored to how your body feels on the day, with pressure and positioning adjusted for comfort and support.
