A wonderful way to relax Mummy
“A calm and relaxed Mummy equals a happy baby”
Incorporating lymphatic drainage massage into postpartum care can be a valuable tool for physical and emotional recovery, helping new mothers navigate the challenges of motherhood while supporting their bodies’ healing processes.
You may have thought that after your pregnancy, your swelling would go down, but all that extra fluid does not disappear overnight.
Postpartum swelling can be caused by a buildup of the excess fluid that is caused by blockage in the tissues under the skin.
It can also increase from the extra fluids received via IV during labor and delivery.
Our lymphatic drainage massage can effectively push the fluids out from under the tissues into the bloodstream to drain properly. Once drained, the body goes into a state of healing thus allowing the swelling to go down
Consistent massage therapy boosts the lymphatic and circulatory systems, promoting overall health and wellness while increasing the levels of feel-good hormones (endorphins) within the body—benefiting both mummy, baby, and the entire family.
Pregnancy brings immense joy, but it also places significant strain on a woman’s entire body, often leading to an emotional and physical roller coaster!
The power of regular post pregnancy massages can ease so many of the symptoms experienced during pregnancy; providing relief from aches and pains and everyday stresses, therefore improving the quality of a new mummy and her experience to motherhood.
Regular massage improves the lymphatic and circulatory system; which promotes ongoing health and wellness increasing the levels of feel-good hormones (endorphins) within the body – which is great for mum, baby and all the family.
1. **Reduces Swelling**
After childbirth, many women experience swelling due to fluid retention. Lymphatic drainage massage helps stimulate the lymphatic system, encouraging the elimination of excess fluids and reducing swelling in areas such as the abdomen, legs, and feet.
2. **Enhances Circulation**
This type of massage improves blood circulation, which can aid in the healing process. Enhanced circulation helps deliver essential nutrients and oxygen to tissues, promoting faster recovery from childbirth.
3. **Relieves Discomfort**
Postpartum often comes with aches and pains, especially in the back and hips. Lymphatic drainage massage can alleviate muscle tension and discomfort, providing relief and aiding in relaxation.
4. **Supports Hormonal Balance**
The postpartum period involves significant hormonal shifts. Lymphatic drainage can help in regulating these hormonal changes, potentially easing mood swings and postpartum depression symptoms.
5. **Boosts Immune Function**
By stimulating the lymphatic system, this massage technique enhances the body’s immune response. A healthier immune system can be beneficial for new mothers as they adapt to the demands of caring for a newborn.
6. **Promotes Relaxation**
The gentle, rhythmic movements of lymphatic drainage massage can induce a deep state of relaxation, helping new mothers manage stress and fatigue, which are common in the postpartum period.
7. **Improves Skin Health**
The massage can promote better skin elasticity and tone, which may help in recovering from the changes that pregnancy brings to the skin.
8. **Facilitates Mental Well-being**
The nurturing touch of massage can provide emotional support, fostering a sense of well-being during a time that can be overwhelming for many new mummies.
