Pregnancy, labor, and birth put a lot of strain on a woman's body, and postpartum recovery can be a challenging time. That's why postpartum massage is a great way to help your body recover during the so-called "fourth trimester." Postpartum massage can alleviate a whole range of issues, such as swelling and preeclampsia/eclampsia. When you come in for a postpartum massage, your therapist will ask you about your delivery: how long labor was, what position you were in when you delivered, and if you had a C-section. They will also ask if you are breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, and where your baby sleeps. This information is critical in order to provide you with the best massage possible.

Our “tension areas” start acting up, beckoning us to slow down, take a rest, listen to the body, and return to a state of balance. More often than not, my table continues...
