Prenatal and Postnatal Massage: An Essential Part of Maternal Health

Childbirth is a significant milestone in a woman's life, embodying both the splendor of creation and the challenges of body transformation. At 360 Wellness Okotoks, we understand this journey's unique dynamics and complexities, offering targeted maternal health services.

Among our offerings, prenatal and postnatal massage therapy stands out as a crucial component. It holistically addresses the common health issues associated with pregnancy and post-childbirth recovery.

The Importance of Prenatal Massage

Pregnancy, a period of tremendous bodily transformations, often brings uncomfortable changes that can affect physical and emotional health. However, prenatal massages, delivered by our skilled therapists, provide solace and relief.

Fosters Physiological Harmony

Pregnancy induces hormonal fluctuations that can impact mood, sleep, and overall well-being. Our prenatal massage techniques work to alleviate these hormonal imbalances, promoting optimal body function and mental tranquility.

Alleviates Pregnancy-Related Discomforts

Conditions such as sciatic pain, sacral ligament strains, hip discomfort, and chronic and acute low back pain frequently emerge during pregnancy. Our custom-designed prenatal massages target these areas, relieving severe discomfort and enhancing physical adaptability.

Promotes Better Circulation and Fluid Balance

Pregnancy often leads to increased blood circulation and fluid retention. Our therapeutic massage techniques aid lymphatic drainage, helping to remove excess fluid, reducing swelling and promoting healthier circulation.

The Benefits of Postnatal Massage

The physical demands of childbirth and the subsequent responsibility of caring for a newborn can put considerable strain on a woman's body. Postnatal massages serve as an effective avenue for recovery, promoting overall wellness.

Aids in Body Rehabilitation 

Postnatal massage works to restore the body's pre-pregnancy condition. It assists in uterus shrinking and promotes pelvic floor recovery. It also helps attenuate stretch marks and C-section scar tissues.

Improves Breastfeeding

Massage therapy stimulates the release of oxytocin, a hormone that helps the milk ejection reflex. It can also relieve chest muscle tension, enhancing the overall breastfeeding experience.

Promotes Emotional Wellness

Postnatal massage provides a soothing experience for new mothers, relieving postpartum blues and enhancing the maternal bond with the baby. It offers a tranquil space for relaxation, aiding in stress and anxiety reduction.

Provides Rest & Relaxation

Postnatal massage provides undisturbed rest and relaxation to new mothers, giving them the energy and rejuvenation they need to take care of their newborn and themselves.
