POST- natal massage:
Simply put, a postnatal massage is a massage after pregnancy. This massage is meant to give both mental and physical relief to mothers who have just given birth as well as address any concerns due to delivery. Postnatal massage can be received at any point after delivery. As most RMT's work in an office it is usually best to wait until you are comfortable going into their office.
