Postpartum massage is very beneficial and can help with the physical and emotional toll of being a new mother. Some of the benefits of postpartum massage include:
Reducing the time it takes to recover from labor and delivery
Relieving muscular tension caused by nursing and caring for your newborn
Refreshing the mother dealing with sleep deprivation
Providing the new mother an opportunity to take care of herself
Postpartum massage can be done 24 hours after an uncomplicated vaginal birth. It is best to wait at least two weeks after a cesarean birth.
