These points are vital for directing the flow of qi around your body, specifically in the lower abdominal areas. This can aid in helping your uterus return to its pre-pregnancy state as well as regain tone to abdominal muscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Post-Natal_Massage_Benefits\"><\/span><strong>Post-Natal Massage Benefits<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.confinement-nanny.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Post-Natal-Massage-Benefits-2.jpg\" alt=\"When Should You Start Post-Natal Massage?\" class=\"wp-image-645\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.confinement-nanny.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Post-Natal-Massage-Benefits-2.jpg 500w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.confinement-nanny.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Post-Natal-Massage-Benefits-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.confinement-nanny.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Post-Natal-Massage-Benefits-2-219x146.jpg 219w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.confinement-nanny.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Post-Natal-Massage-Benefits-2-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.confinement-nanny.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Post-Natal-Massage-Benefits-2-112x75.jpg 112w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width:767px) 480px, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Relieves_Tension_in_the_Lower_Back_and_Hips\"><\/span>1. Relieves Tension in the Lower Back and Hips<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A key benefit of a post-natal massage is that it helps release tension, aches, and pains in the lower back and hips. It does this by providing a direct medium for stimulating acupressure points in these areas as well as releasing tight muscles. This will help relax tension in the lower back, alleviate pain, and restore proper posture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Restores_Abdominal_Tone_After_Childbirth\"><\/span>2. Restores Abdominal Tone After Childbirth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Childbirth can cause changes in abdominal tone. This means that your muscles can lose their tonicity or ability to contract effectively after childbirth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can cause a loss of support in the abdominal wall, resulting in a postural distortion, which can leave you feeling uncomfortable and have an impact on your general posture. Results of various studies have shown that massage therapy may be useful for restoring abdominal tone as well as improving posture after childbirth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Improves_Circulation\"><\/span>3. Improves Circulation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Massage is linked to improved circulation throughout the body. It can help your body remove waste products in the lymphatic system while also keeping your blood vessels healthy and open. This can help promote healthy circulation, which can in turn help prevent varicose veins, swelling, and other circulatory issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Improves_Postpartum_Physical_Recovery\"><\/span>4. Improves Postpartum Physical Recovery<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first weeks after giving birth can be very physically challenging for mothers. It is very common for many to experience fatigue, loss of appetite, bloating, bleeding clots from the uterus, hemorrhoids, and more as their bodies return to normal post-birth functioning. It is for this exact reason that it is highly recommended for mothers make every effort to get as much rest as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Improves_Post_Partum_Depression\"><\/span>5.

It is thought that stress during pregnancy can cause major hormonal changes, and this can result in dramatic changes in behavior, sleep patterns, and moods months after giving birth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the reason new mothers need to make sure they are properly managing their stress levels while they are pregnant as well as after childbirth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Reduces_Blood_Clotting\"><\/span>6. Reduces Blood Clotting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A post-natal massage has also been shown to reduce blood clotting which can help women who have just given birth overcome the effects of post-natal blood clotting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_It_Reduces_the_Risk_of_Post_Natal_Depression\"><\/span>7. It Reduces the Risk of Post Natal Depression<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recent studies have shown that pregnant women who received weekly prenatal massages suffered less from post-natal depression. This is thought to be because massage can greatly reduce stress levels and increase relaxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Increases_Oxytocin_Levels\"><\/span>8. Increases Oxytocin Levels<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oxytocin, also known as the love hormone, is a vital hormone for creating a bond between mothers and their babies. Studies have shown that post-natal massage can help increase your oxytocin levels which can help improve breast milk production, skin elasticity, and blood circulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Decreases_Risk_of_Breast_Cancer\"><\/span>9. Decreases Risk of Breast Cancer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Massage can help to decrease the risk of breast cancer. Studies have shown that massage therapy may be useful for improving immune function and reducing stress levels. This can slow down the development of cancers such as breast, colon, or prostate cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Improves_Immunity\"><\/span>10. Improves Immunity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Massage therapy has also been shown to improve your immunity which may help treat infectious diseases.

Some women, however, may feel uncomfortable with the idea of having a massage while they are still pregnant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are thinking of getting a post-natal massage after giving birth, be sure to check with your doctor first. If everything is alright, then you can simply book an appointment with a local therapist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best thing to do is to find out what works for you. Start doing some research and interviewing a few therapists. It will be very important to find the therapist that is best for you and your specific needs.
