Postpartum Massage
At first glance, one might think a postpartum massage is just the same as any “non-pregnant” massage, but in fact the impact of being recently pregnant and giving birth create the need for a specialized approach for new moms. The body has been through a dramatic change for the past 9 months and not addressing the effects of these changes on the musculature and joints can result in lasting changes in the body.
Postpartum therapeutic massage focuses on correcting postural distortions that may have occured during pregnancy (“swayback” and other distortions) caused by compensating for the additional weight of the baby. Postpartum massage also addresses the physical strains of caring for a newborn (upper back, neck, and shoulder discomforts). The most common post-partum musculo-skeletal dysfunctions can be treated with trigger point therapy, Strain CounterStrain, muscle energy technique, and similar approaches.
