Serenity Massage Glasgow

PostNatal massage

The Post Partum period in a women’s life, is sometimes one where she may neglect herself as she adjusts to life with her baby. While resting and not over doing it, is vital for optimum hormone balance, and to make it easier for her body to re-adjust post birth.

You are welcome to come for a Postnatal massage as soon as you feel ready – if you have had a natural, complication-free labour, you can enjoy a massage the very next day if needed! If you have had complications with the birth or a cesarean, I would advise that you wait at least 6 weeks for healing to take place.

Post Natal Massage can provide relief from complaints such as lower back ache, hip pain, pelvic girdle pain, sciatica, headaches, and neck & shoulder tension.

I usually carry this out with you lying flat on the treatment table, although there is also the option to have the massage while lying on your side, if your breasts or abdomen are sore.

If required you can also have gentle work on your abdomen, to help your tummy recover. Or you may be ready for deep tissue massage to sort out other areas of tension remaining from your pregnancy. You can advise me at your consultation.

For women who have had a Caesarean. If requested I can also undertake some scar tissue massage after 6 weeks, to help with the healing, and I can teach some gentle techniques for use at home.

Massage is an excellent stress buster and mood elevator, and may therefore be found to be helpful if you are experiencing the ‘baby blues’ or postnatal depression.
