10 Postnatal Massage services to help you Heal and Slim down after giving Birth
Pregnancy and giving birth can take a lot — literally! — out of a woman’s body. It’s no wonder that new mothers are advised to go through confinement to help them heal better, physically. Postnatal massage too, plays a significant role in this process. It speeds up the elimination of excess fluids and relieves water retention, helping bodies return to pre-pregnancy shape and size.
It can help accelerate womb recovery by encouraging lochia discharge, and reposition the pelvis and abdominal organs. Furthermore it has even been known to improve lactation (breast milk production), and ease breast engorgement.
Most importantly, it gives the new mum time-out from caring for her newborn, so she can relax, and catch up on much-needed rest. If you are currently pregnant, and have yet to book your postnatal massage package, do it soon — but not before reading this article for the lowdown on postnatal massages available in Singapore.
Before booking your postnatal massage
Visit the website of the massage place that you are interested in. Find out what exactly you will be getting when you make your booking. Some places include a massage for your baby, while some offer a demonstration. Others may offer freebies on top of the package inclusions.
If you are hiring a therapist to go to your home, is transportation included in the cost or will you have to top up? Can you rent a massage bed? How much will that cost? Finally, check on the cancellation procedures as well, in case you change your mind.
When to book your postnatal massage
Do it two to three months before your EDD (expected date of delivery), as slots tend to fill up quickly. If you have a preferred therapist in mind, make your booking at least four months ahead. This gives you a better chance of ‘chope-ing’ her.
