Massage for all Mums

Post Natal Massage is not just for new mums, its for all mums.

The Post Natal period is not a small period of time after you've given birth. It doesn't just refer to the first 6 weeks of your child's life. Nor does it end when your child is older. Once you have had a child you remain Post Natal for the rest of your life.

Post Natal Massage is for all Mums

So when I talk about Post Natal Massage, I'm not just referring to a massage for new mums. Yes, its perfect for new mums. This period is an intense time of recovery and healing and it happens in the weeks and months after you've given birth. However, when this period has settled and some kind of equilibrium has been found, you may still find that the physical and emotional healing is ongoing.

The physical impact of motherhood as you feed, carry, push and hold your new baby. Alongside the sleepless nights and exhaustion from adapting to a new baby, life and routine. It all takes its toll on our bodies, and that's why you remain in the Post Natal period because pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood can have a lifelong impact.

So a Post Natal Massage is for all mums, to help them recover and heal not just from the rigours of pregnancy and birth but also from motherhood and the strain that that too can put on our emotional and physical well being.

Here are a few benefits to having a Post Natal Massage:

Massage helps your body heal and recover from Pregnancy, Childbirth and Motherhood:

Even if you have given birth a few months or years ago, your body may still be recovering.

Childbearing has an enormous impact on our bodies. Bellies grow, hormones swirl and your ankles may swell. However, what we may not realise is how these changes can have a life long impact on us both physically and emotionally. The transition through Pregnancy and motherhood puts an enormous strain on our bodies and can impact our posture, core integrity, and the way we walk, run and exercise. Our muscles and ligaments become overstretched and overworked which can put an huge amount of strain on our bodies. This may ultimately lead to you experiencing pain in areas of your body which have not been given the opportunity to heal properly. Post Natal Massage can help to target these areas by using soft tissue techniques bringing fresh blood to the muscles and getting rid of toxins.

Massage helps to lift your mood, reduce stress and balance hormones:

Motherhood is a wonderful, but it can be stressful and overwhelming at times. Whether you're a stay at home mum or a working mum, we are constantly juggling the needs of others and not paying attention to our own. You may not even be aware that you are sleep deprived or that you are exhausted. Having regular Post Natal Massages can help to reboot and re-balance your mind; reducing the stress hormones such as cortisol and encouraging the happy hormones. You can't escape the stress of your lives, however by having regular massages you can learn to manage your stress, keeping you calm and lifting your mood.

Massage gives you some 'Me-time.':

Lets face it, we don't often get time to look after ourselves. Ultimately, our own self care is at the bottom of the list as we focus our attention on looking after everyone else. However, in order to be the best mummy, we need to look after our selves and our own physical and emotional well being. Massage is a perfect opportunity for you let someone else look after you and provide you with the opportunity to stop, relax and restore your energy.
