Prenatal and Postpartum Massage in Portland

Postpartum massage helps even out those new mom hormones

Postpartum massage can also help promote hormonal balance. Massage helps regulate stress hormones and promotes endorphins (the happy hormones). Having more balanced hormones can help new mothers avoid postpartum mood fluctuations. And even though a major life event has taken place, there is no reason a mom can’t get back to feeling like herself again.
There are many reasons to enjoy a postpartum massage. Most massages are done in office and you’re welcome to bring your new family, we’re flexible. But we can come travel to you if you are unable to come for an office visit. We understand that this is a very special time for your family, please email us with any questions.

Abdominal Healing

Even though not many health care providers will mention your abdominal area after going birth, we think this is an essential part of the postpartum healing process.
As a new mom, your abdominal muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia have just done amazing things and stretched to impressive lengths. It’s our job to help them get back to normal. This is a very important part of the postpartum healing process that is often ignored but is so essential to regaining strength, bladder control, and helping your muscles knit back together. Many new moms notice a stronger core, greater urinary control, less hip, and lower back discomfort, and a firmer stomach. Every woman heals at a different pace, but we offer postpartum massage in Portland because we love helping moms feel like their old selves again.  We are specially trained in postpartum techniques that help assist your healing process.
