Benefits of Post-Natal Massage

1. Faster Recovery

• When the body is cut or wounded, for example through a cesarean birth, blood clots form to prevent further blood loss. When this happens, the other blood vessels deliver nutrients and oxygen which promotes healing. Postnatal massage after cesarean will speed up your recovery time because these types of massages increase blood circulation, and the more nutrients and oxygen that are delivered to the wound, the faster it will heal.

2. Improved Mental Health

• It is no surprise that the body takes a mental toll after giving birth. After all, pregnancy causes hormone imbalance and an increase in the ‘stress hormone’ named cortisol. These massages help new mothers to relax and unwind, reducing cortisol levels and promoting good mental health.

3. Increased milk production

• Post-natal massages releases oxytocin which helps the mother to relax, opening up and unclogging her ducts, thereby increasing the flow and production of milk.
