POST-NATAL BODY TREATMENTS (Princeton) - (28)

You've just given birth — congrats! — now it's time to take care of your new baby. Just don't forget about taking care of you, too. Your body has gone through many changes over your pregnancy and you'll need to take the time — and a little bit of extra effort — to allow it to rest and recover. Postpartum massage is a full body massage that can help ease women into motherhood by offering both physical and emotional benefits. If you've had a miscarriage or unsuccessful delivery (stillbirth), you may also want to consider postpartum massage to help your body recover. What Is Postpartum Massage? Massage has long been used as a therapeutic way to promote relaxation, pain relief, and stress reduction. Postpartum massage has all of these same benefits, along with helping any new mom experience a quicker recovery and overall better health after giving birth. Some of the benefits of postpartum massage include: Muscle relaxation. Postpartum massage relaxes muscles, increases circulation, and lowers stress hormones, bringing both physical and emotional relief. Some women prefer a light-touch massage, while others opt for a deeper massage that reaches further into the muscles and soft tissues of the body for more complete healing. Pain relief. It's normal to experience achy muscles after childbirth. A postpartum massage can help relieve pain, especially in areas that are prone to getting sore like the arms, shoulders, and back. Massaging the chest area also opens up the shoulders and relieves breast pain. Hormone regulation. Hormones like estrogen increase at a significant level during pregnancy and then decrease after delivery. Postpartum massage can help balance your hormones, as well as your mood. Massage can work to balance naturally occurring chemicals that are linked to depression, including dopamine and serotonin. Decreased swelling. During pregnancy body fluids typically increase by about 50%. After pregnancy, a postpartum massage can help increase circulation and lymphatic drainage so that the body can effectively process excess fluid and restore balance. 7/14/30 days home care post natal treatment and Belly binding is available
