My latest guest blogger, Everest Therapeutics, writes about the benefits of a massage post birth. Who doesn't want one, or need one?? They have two locations in downtown Vancouver: 970 Burrard St. at Nelson and 535 Hornby St. in the YWCA building.
They have 14 RMT's  skilled in both prenatal and postpartum massage. Once you are feeling ready to go out.... receive some healing touch, please consider booking a massage with them.

                             
            Postpartum Massage Therapy
What is postpartum massage?
Simply put it's massage given to a new mother, to help with recovery, rejuvenation, balancing and relaxation. It's very important for a new mom to also take care of herself after giving birth since she now has to spend so much of her time attending to another life.
It can be easy to forget about your own needs and to completely exhaust yourself. Postpartum massage supports your recovery allowing you to put your best foot forward as a mother.

How can postpartum massage help?
Some of the many benefits of receiving postpartum massage are:
Reduces muscular tension and fatigue
Increases lymphatic drainage
Relaxes muscles strained during labour or infant care
Relieves headaches and migraines
Assists the uterus in contracting down to size and minimize bleeding
Get rid of toxins

Helps to balance hormones

Relaxation causes release of endorphins

Lifts post-partum depression

Speed up recovery from a caesarean

Aids in correcting posture

Release of oxytocin

Reduces any swelling or edema from pregnancy

Reduces stress hormones

Increases circulation

Relieves lower back pain
