The post-natal period can be a challenging time for a new mother as she adjusts physically and emotionally. Also, if you are a mother who has undergone an unexpected caesarean birth, your adjustments may be even more challenging.
With the many benefits that massage offers, the new mother’s health can be restored in a nurturing way along with some luxurious essential oils.
SOME BENEFITS OF POST-NATAL MASSAGE
- Helps restore your body to its pre-pregnancy condition;
- Facilitates the healing of a caesarean section birth;
- Improves circulation through the body;
- Encourages the flow of lymph and speeds the elimination of toxins from your body without any problems to your baby during breast-feeding;
- Calms your nervous system, producing much needed relaxation and the release of endorphins (your feel good, healing hormones);
- Defines the shapes and contours of your body to bring a renewed sense of body image and self-esteem;
- Relieves emotional and physical stress that result from being sleep deprived;
- Eases muscle aches and pains that result from nursing and carrying your newborn.
If you are recovering from a caesarean section you will need to wait until you have had your 6-week clearance from your Obstetrician to book your massage.
