Postpartum massage supports your body’s recovery after birth by easing muscle tension, improving circulation, and reducing stress. Whether you’re healing from vaginal or cesarean delivery, managing the physical demands of breastfeeding, or simply feeling depleted, massage can help relieve pain, swelling, and postural strain. Our therapists are trained in postpartum-specific techniques and adapt each session based on your birth experience, symptoms, and stage of recovery—so you can safely rest, restore, and reconnect with your body at a time when care is often focused entirely on your baby.
