MASSAGE THERAPY

Pre and Postnatal Massage

Prenatal and postnatal massage is a healing approach that offers many benefits for expectant and new mothers, providing relaxation and relief from bodily tension associated with pregnancy and childbirth.

 

Prenatal massage focuses on the comfort of the pregnant woman by reducing stress, soothing muscle pain, and improving blood circulation. It can relieve common discomforts during pregnancy, such as lower back pain, lower back tension, leg cramps, and posture-related pain. This type of massage can also help reduce edema (swelling) and promote better sleep. Prenatal massage is recommended to begin in the second trimester of pregnancy. Depending on your needs, it can be practiced up to the day before delivery. The techniques used include gentle, tailored maneuvers that aim to relax muscles, relieve pressure, and encourage circulation, without risk to the baby.

 

Postnatal massage is a valuable treatment to help mothers recover from the physical stresses associated with childbirth, carrying the baby, and breastfeeding. After birth, the body undergoes many changes, and several areas, including the back, shoulders, neck, and wrists, can be particularly stressed. Postnatal massage helps relieve these tensions and improve the mother's overall well-being.

 

When to Start Postnatal Massage?

Postnatal massage can be performed as soon as the mother feels ready. This treatment is particularly useful after returning home, to support muscle recovery and soothe tension accumulated during the first few weeks.

Therapeutic Massage

Therapeutic massage is a manual approach designed to relieve muscle, joint, and nerve pain while promoting relaxation and blood circulation. Whether for chronic tension, sports injuries, stress-related pain, or postural disorders, this type of massage offers comprehensive and personalized care.

 

Indications

  • Muscle tension and chronic pain (back, neck, shoulders)

  • Joint pain: especially pain related to osteoarthritis

  • Stress and Anxiety: Deep Relaxation and Stress Management

  • Postural rehabilitation and muscle rebalancing

  • Recovery after physical exertion or sports injury

  • Improved blood and lymphatic circulation

 

Therapeutic massage is performed using targeted techniques tailored to each condition or need. It can include relaxation, mobilization, or deeper pressure movements, depending on the individual's needs. This treatment is beneficial for restoring bodily balance, reducing pain, and improving daily quality of life.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual lymphatic drainage is a gentle and specific technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system, facilitating the elimination of toxins and waste from the body. Through slow and precise movements, this massage helps improve lymphatic circulation, reduces edema, and promotes relaxation.

 

Indications

  • Water retention and edema (swelling)

  • Post-operative: after surgery to reduce inflammation and speed recovery

  • Circulatory problems: helps improve blood and lymphatic circulation

  • Fatigue and stress: promotes relaxation and general well-being

 

Manual lymphatic drainage is particularly suitable for those looking to reduce swelling, improve circulation, or support the body's natural detoxification process. This treatment is not only an excellent way to support the body's natural cleansing process, but also promotes a profound sense of well-being.
