Postpartum Massage therapy

After childbirth, the body goes through significant changes, and many new mothers experience various discomforts. At Windsor RMT, we understand the challenges of this transition and offer therapeutic massage to support recovery during the postpartum period.

**Muscle Tension and Back Pain** – Many new mothers experience backaches or sciatic nerve discomfort, often exacerbated by the physical demands of caring for a newborn and frequent breastfeeding. Therapeutic massage can target these areas, helping to relieve tension and ease discomfort.

**Swelling and Fluid Retention** – Pregnancy often leads to increased body fluid, resulting in swelling that can persist after childbirth. Massage therapy can support the lymphatic system, improving circulation and promoting fluid drainage to reduce swelling.

**Breastfeeding Support** – Gentle chest and upper back massage can help alleviate discomfort from breastfeeding, improve circulation, and may even promote milk production. It can also help prevent blocked ducts and reduce the risk of mastitis, offering mothers some much-needed relief.

**Emotional Well-being** – Postpartum depression, anxiety, and fatigue are common challenges for many new moms. Massage therapy is known to help reduce stress, elevate mood, and promote relaxation, providing new mothers with a sense of emotional balance and well-being.

**Postnatal Recovery** – The physical demands of childbirth can leave muscles tight and sore. A tailored massage can help stretch and restore muscles, aiding in their recovery and helping the body return to a more comfortable state.

**Skin and Relaxation** – Restoring circulation to the skin can promote a healthy, glowing complexion. Adding a soothing face and scalp massage can improve skin tone while also helping to reduce tension from stress.

**Improved Sleep** – Postpartum sleep can be disrupted due to the demands of caring for a newborn. Massage helps relax the body, promoting deeper, more restful sleep by boosting serotonin levels and reducing stress hormones.
