Recover Well and Recover Quicker to make the 4th Trimester Easier.
In the first few weeks postpartum, your body adapts from a state of pregnancy and experiences many changes: it is a big transition, emotionally and physically.
The changes include:
- Uterine involution (when the uterus returns to its normal non-pregnancy state)
- Hormones normalisation
- Emotional adjustments
- 6kg to 8kg of puerperium weight loss, causing postural changes and the sudden shift of centre of gravity
- Mammary changes
The common postpartum symptoms include:
- Recovery from Labour:
- Exhaustion
- Pelvic Ligament and joint strain and pain
- Epidural and other pain medication after effects such as headache or backache.
- Pain from trigger points: tension in the abdominals, hip flexors, lower back, gluteal muscles and hip area.
- Constipation
- Lack of abdominal muscle tone and integrity
Postnatal Massage assists in relieving many of the common causes of discomfort during postpartum.
Postnatal Massage is the perfect opportunity to reduce the pregnancy discomforts that linger in the postnatal period and release discomforts related to your new daily routine with bub.
