-better sleep patterns the night following the massage

-boost for mom's immune system

-relief of aches and pains associated with pregnancy

-enhanced digestion

-some relief of pregnancy related swelling in the lower legs and arms

Postpartum Massage
Postpartum massage also has many benefits. Mom is usually very tired from interrupted sleep cycles. Frequently her shoulders and neck are very tight, due to holding and feeding the new bundle. A massage can help mom relax, be able to move her neck again, and also to help with gentle techniques to help to reintegrate the fluids in her abdomen postpartum.

There will be some changes in mom's body from the process of pregnancy and birth. Mom's abdomen will usually be bloated for weeks after birth. This is primarily from the extra fluid in the abdomen, and it also takes several weeks for the uterus to involute significantly. It does actually shrink back nearly to a pre-pregnant size, which is great news...it just takes a little time. One of the side-effects many women don't talk about, though, is stress incontinence issues postpartum. One of the techniques our therapists have been trained in, can help with this issue. It is called a 'bladder lift'. It is a deep tissue technique, performed through the abdomen, which can have immediate results in helping with stress incontinence. See more on our page about the Postpartum Bladder Lift Technique.

A newborn brings a lot of joy and excitement to a family, but they also bring a tremendous amount of stress, sleepless nights, worry and possibly a bit of angst and depression. We have a network of support for new moms in town, so please ask us for the information for yourself, or the new mom in your life!
