Postnatal Massage Saskatoon
Unsurprisingly, many women experience discomfort not only during labor and delivery but also during the postnatal period. From the strain of carrying your newborn to the demands of breastfeeding, the postnatal period brings its own set of physical challenges. Postnatal massage therapy at Central Avenue Health Centre is designed to address these unique needs, helping you navigate this special season with greater comfort and ease.
Here are some ways that postnatal massage can help new moms recover and feel their best.
Restoring Pelvic Alignment
During pregnancy, the hormone relaxin is produced, which loosens ligaments, tendons, and joints to prepare the body for childbirth. This can cause the pelvis to separate, and it may not return to its proper position on its own. Postnatal massage helps relax the muscles, allowing the pelvis to realign. This is crucial for preventing low back pain and other issues associated with a misaligned pelvis. A chiropractor can assist in adjusting the pelvis, ensuring it is correctly positioned.
Relieving Upper Body Tension
Caring for a newborn involves repetitive actions such as feeding, holding, and changing the baby, which can lead to tension and discomfort in the upper back and shoulders. Postnatal massage includes upper pectoral treatments that address these areas, alleviating the strain from rounded shoulders during breastfeeding.
Promoting Relaxation and
Emotional Well-being
The postnatal period is not just about physical recovery; it’s also a significant emotional journey. Massage therapy provides a much-needed break for new mothers, allowing them to relax and focus on their well-being.
This time of self-care is essential for mental health, reducing stress, and promoting overall emotional balance. Whether a mom has given birth naturally or via C-section, the healing journey is extensive, and massage therapy plays a vital role in this process.
