Post-Natal Massage for Women in Philadelphia
Restorative Care for Healing and Recovery After Birth
Our post-natal massage is a gentle, rejuvenating treatment designed to support new mothers as their bodies recover from childbirth. This massage offers relief from tension, emotional balance, and much-needed time to rest and recharge.
How Post Natal Massages Can Help
The weeks and months following childbirth bring profound physical and emotional changes. Post-natal massage—also known as postpartum massage—is specifically tailored to help support recovery during this important transition. This massage is especially beneficial for new mothers who:
- Experience back, shoulder, hip, or neck tension from pregnancy, labor, or newborn care
- Feel physically exhausted or depleted
- Are adjusting to hormonal and emotional shifts after birth
- Want gentle support for circulation and natural healing
- Need intentional time for rest and self-care
Using nurturing, restorative techniques, post-natal massage helps you reconnect with your body while supporting both physical comfort and emotional well-being.
What a Post-Natal Massage Involves
Each postpartum massage session at Gunnur is customized to your recovery stage and unique needs. Sessions are calm, supportive, and never rushed. Here is what you can expect:
Personalized Intake & Recovery Check-In
Your session begins with a brief conversation about your childbirth experience, current discomfort, energy levels, and any areas that need extra care.
Comfortable, Supportive Positioning
You’ll be positioned in a way that feels most comfortable—often side-lying or semi-reclined—with bolsters and pillows for support, especially if the abdomen or chest feels sensitive.
Gentle Warm-Up Strokes
Soft, flowing strokes help relax the body and prepare muscles for deeper—but still gentle—therapeutic work.
Targeted Relief for Common Postpartum Tension Areas
Focused attention is given to areas that often hold tension after birth, such as the back, shoulders, hips, and neck, using light to moderate pressure tailored to your comfort.
Support for Circulation and Relaxation
Calming, rhythmic movements encourage circulation and help the nervous system settle, supporting both physical recovery and emotional balance.
Soothing Finishing Touches
The session concludes with gentle, reassuring strokes and a brief discussion to ensure you can transition seamlessly back to your day.
What to Expect After Your Session
Post-natal massage is designed to leave you feeling lighter and more at ease in your body. After your session, you may experience:
- Reduced muscle tension and physical discomfort
- Improved circulation and a sense of physical relief
- Greater emotional balance and calm
- Decreased stress and mental fatigue
- A renewed sense of energy and well-being
Many new mothers find that regular postpartum massage helps them adjust more easily to the demands of motherhood.
