Childbirth places substantial stress on a woman's body, and the benefits of Postpartum Massage Therapy extend beyond mere relaxation. Hormonally and physically, Massage Therapy plays a crucial role in aiding the body's natural healing processes. The nurturing touch provided during our sessions not only contributes to physical recovery but also significantly enhances emotional well-being.
Regular massages during the postpartum period are especially impactful in gently regulating hormones, reducing the likelihood of experiencing the "baby blues" or postpartum depression. Our skilled Registered Massage Therapists at Leilani Integrative Healthcare create a supportive and comforting environment, facilitating a smoother transition into the challenges and joys of motherhood.
One of the key benefits of Postpartum Massage Therapy is its positive influence on cortisol levels (stress hormone). By effectively decreasing cortisol, we mitigate the negative effects of rapidly changing hormones, allowing new mothers to navigate this transformative period with greater ease and resilience.
Scar Tissue Mobilization emerges as a safe and effective solution for enhancing function and alleviating pain resulting from Cesarean section procedures, specifically once the scar has fully healed without any signs of infection.
The process of scar tissue remodelling is crucial for restoring normal range of motion, strength, and mobility to the injured tissue. If scar tissue fails to undergo proper remodelling, it can lead to issues such as mobility loss and joint contractures.
Massage Therapy, a widely recognized and effective treatment post-surgery or injury, plays a pivotal role in scar tissue mobilization. The techniques employed in scar tissue mobilization massage are renowned for their effectiveness in reducing scar tissue buildup, rendering it more pliable. These massage techniques not only encourage the lengthening and realignment of scar tissue fibres but also promote increased skin movement and fewer restrictions. Furthermore, the process aids in desensitizing the nerve fibres surrounding the scar, contributing to overall comfort and well-being.
Scar Tissue Mobilization through Massage Therapy offers transformative benefits, including the softening and flattening of forming scars, as it actively promotes collagen remodelling. Clients may also experience reduced itching in the treated area due to enhanced flexibility and moisture.
It's important to note that Scar Tissue Massage can be safely and effectively performed once the scar is fully healed. For new mothers seeking treatment for C-Section scarring and Abdominal Massages, it is advisable to wait 6-7 weeks post-birth before receiving treatment or adhere to the guidance provided by their healthcare professionals.
Unless otherwise stated by your Doctor, you can start postpartum massages as soon as you feel ready! If you had a C-Section or complicated delivery, check with your Doctor prior to getting your first Postpartum Massage Therapy treatment.
It is suggested that new Mothers wait at least two weeks following a C-Section to receive a full body massage. Treatment for C-Section scarring and Abdominal Massages should wait 6-7 weeks before receiving treatments or as advised by your Doctor.
