What Is Post Natal
Massage?
|
A post natal massage is designed to meet the needs
of a woman who has just delivered a baby. It is
advisable to get regular massages in the initial few
weeks after you have a baby. This kind of massage
helps to strengthen you and aid the recovery
process. It can be compared to a standard massage
because it does the following to your body.
You can get a massage as soon as you are released
from hospital. However, if you delivered your baby
through cesarean section, it is advisable to wait
for a few weeks to allow your wound to heal. Consult
your doctor to determine the most appropriate time
to get a post natal massage.
· Relieves sore areas
· Relaxes tense muscles
· Boosts blood circulation
· Enhances joint mobility
· Rejuvenates the body
How Does Post Natal Massage Help?
Several medical experts consider a massage after
delivery to be beneficial for the mother. The
massage can offer several benefits. Childbirth can
strain your entire body especially the hips, upper
back, lower back, and abdomen. Getting a massage
helps to relax your muscles by getting rid of all
the tension that may have built up during labor and
delivery. It can also reduce soreness in different
parts of the body. A massage boosts oxygen and blood
flow to the muscles and this helps to promote
healing and eliminate toxins. A post natal massage
can be the first step towards restoring your body to
the pre-pregnancy state. All the stroking and
kneading can help to tighten and tone some of the
areas that were stretched such as your abdomen
during pregnancy. During a massage, your body
produces endorphins that play an important role in
relieving pain. Some women experience back pain
after delivery and a massage can offer relief.
Endorphins are considered natural pain killers. They
are produced by the brain.
When you have a massage, your body releases
oxytocins. The oxytocins make it easy for milk to
come out of the nipples. This makes it easy for you
to breastfeed your baby. It can be very frustrating
when your baby wants to feed and they find it
difficult to get milk from your breasts. A post
natal massage will include massaging your breasts.
If you have gone through a cesarean section, a
massage can help to speed up your recovery. When you
wound has healed, the scar tissue can be massaged to
smoothen and soften it. The massage will also
promote circulation and this enhances healing. A
massage after delivery can help to eliminate stress.
You may find it difficult to cope with the demands
of being a new mother. A massage makes it easier to
deal with the challenges because it relaxes you.
When to Have a Massage
One of the main concerns of new mothers is leaving
their babies to have a post natal massage. It is
advisable to request your partner or family member
to look after your baby to allow you to have
uninterrupted massage sessions. You can also
schedule one when the baby is sleeping. Your baby
will benefit from the massage as well because you
will be relaxed and in a better position to take
care of them and this makes it necessary to find
time to get one. You can have the massage after
feeding and changing the baby. This ensures that
your baby is comfortable before you leave them. The
massage can last between 30 and 60 minutes depending
on your needs.
You can also have the massage in your home. The
massage specialist will come to you and this allows
you to remain close to the baby. When the massage
expert comes to your home, they carry all the
equipment and products that are required for the
post natal massage. A post natal massage offers both
emotional and physical benefits. It relieves the
stress you go through during delivery and all the
hours that you have to stay up to take care of your
body. All these factors can take a significant toll
on the body and this is why it is advisable to have
massages after you give birth. It is important to
work closely with your doctor to ensure you are
ready for the massage sessions. |
