Description
If you’re a new mum (or maybe not so new!), you know how much the postpartum period can be overwhelming. From hormonal changes to adjusting to the new routine, it can be a lot to handle. One thing that can help during this time is postnatal womb massage, also known as “Closing the Bones.”
Closing the Bones is a traditional massage technique that originated in Ecuador and has been practiced for centuries. It involves rebozo bodywork, gentle womb and hip massage and binding of the abdomen, hips, and lower back. We finish off with a guided relaxation designed for the new mother. This massage can help improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and provide support for the muscles and ligaments that were stretched during pregnancy.
Not only is Closing the Bones beneficial for physical recovery, but it can also have emotional benefits as well. The massage can provide a sense of grounding and closure, which can be especially helpful for those who may feel disconnected from their bodies after giving birth.
I can offer Closing the Bones postnatal womb massage to those looking for a natural and effective way to help recovery from childbirth. This takes place in your own home so you feel comfortable and supported throughout the session. These are suitable for you to have as soon as you feel ready if you gave birth vaginally, and about 4-6 weeks post caesarean section depending on how well your wound is healing. There is no upper limit on when this womb massage can be done.
These sessions take place in the comfort of your own home. Each session last approximately an hour. Please use the form above to get in touch so we can arrange a date.
