Why Postpartum Massage Matters
Postpartum massage offers many benefits:
- Soothes muscle tension from childbirth and caregiving
- Supports hormonal and emotional balance
- Reduces swelling and promotes circulation
- Eases common aches in back, neck, and shoulders
- Alleviates symptoms of postpartum depression and stress
As highlighted by the American Pregnancy Association, postpartum massage encourages faster healing and improved sleep — essentials for new mothers adjusting to motherhood.
