post natal massage
Suitable from 2 weeks after giving birth and is designed to support and nurture new mums.
During the first weeks to 3 months post partum mums go through many emotional and physical changes and may still experience pain, tenderness, soreness and stress as a result of the birthing journey. This early phase is a critical time for recovery, and massage can help with:
Abdominal Visceral Mobilisation
Involves careful assessment, gentle palpation, and manual therapy to release tension in the connective tissues surrounding the abdominal organs affected by pregnancy and women's health issues.
WHAT CAN IT HELP TREAT?
Reduce lower back, pelvic pain, and period pain
Mobilise scar tissue and adhesions post-abdominal surgery
Release the diaphragm to improve breathing and movement patterns
Optimise organ function by releasing restrictions
Balance the autonomic nervous system (controls involuntary bodily functions such as heart rate, digestion, and respiratory rate) to promote relaxation
Positively affects blood and lymphatic circulation
These techniques will inform any postnatal massage but do talk to Anna about any concerns to help get the most out of your treatment.
