Many of my clients say they appreciate a postpartum massage even more than during pregnancy.
Gone is the weight of the baby on your bladder, and the swollen feet. But all those hours hunched over your precious newborn as you figure out breastfeeding can make for some very sore shoulders. The sciatica may have continued to hang around. And stress? Yeah, a little bit.
My goal is to make the leaky, diaper-clad, slightly weepy postpartum mom comfortable in her skin for an hour. I continue to use the bolstering system she enjoyed during pregnancy, to accomodate engorged breasts and C-section scars.
