Welcoming a new life into the world is a joyous experience, but it can also be hard on the body. Our postpartum massage offers targeted relief to new mothers who must handle the physical strains after childbirth and the demands of caring for a newborn. Focusing on areas most affected by pregnancy and childbirth, such as the back, shoulders, and pelvis, our therapists use gentle yet effective techniques to promote healing and restore balance.

By creating a safe space where mothers can prioritize themselves, we support you in your physical recovery during a time of many changes. After childbirth, most mothers are challenged by a lack of sleep and rest. Most focus on ensuring the baby thrives and grows, but they often forget to take care of themselves. Postpartum massage is designed for new mothers facing physical challenges and overload.

According to a study published in the Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic & Neonatal Nursing, 75% of new mothers report experiencing back pain after childbirth. This physical strain can take a toll on the mental and emotional well-being of these women who are accustomed to pushing their limits.

Pain Relief: Chinese massage targets specific points related to pain relief, addressing the discomfort commonly experienced by new mothers, especially in the back and pelvic region.

Improved Blood Circulation: By stimulating blood flow, Chinese massage helps in reducing swelling and inflammation, promoting faster healing of any tears or incisions from childbirth.

Stress Reduction: The emotional toll of childbirth and early motherhood can be overwhelming. Chinese massage aids in relaxation, reducing stress hormones and promoting a sense of calm and balance.

Enhanced Breastfeeding Experience: Through targeted techniques, Chinese massage can alleviate tension in the shoulders and chest, contributing to a more comfortable breastfeeding experience.

Rebalancing Energy: In traditional Chinese medicine, it is believed that childbirth depletes a woman’s vital energy. Chinese massage aims to rebalance this energy, ensuring a smoother transition into the demands of motherhood.
