How can Post Natum massage benefit you?




 How can Post Natum massage benefit you?

Generally after a minimum of two weeks following the birth of a child it is possible to start having massages once again. We have looked at ways that massage can help both before and during the Pregnancy but how can it benefit you following it?
Massage following Pregnancy is also known as Postpartum and can be very beneficial for helping to relax sore muscles, plus lower Stress levels due to the Anxiety that can be triggered, therefore naturally lowering Stress hormones. As the circulation is increased the lymphatic system is able to move more readily reducing swelling and waste production from the body.
Following Pregnancy some women may experience what is known as Post Natel Depression which is often caused by a sudden decrease in the pregnancy hormones that in the later stages can really help you to glow physically ,mentally and emotionally. This can lead to insomnia and the exhaustion that arises from hormonal changes and caring for a new born can seem overwhelming and exhausting leading to depression.
Massage around the breast area in particular can at first appear to be too intimate and yet it has many benefits apart from the relief of tension. It also helps to increase the lactation hormone to make breastfeeding easier to navigate and in fact it does help with the suckerling process. . In addition to this the chest area is then less uncomfortable as lactation improves which is often a big concern to all new mums if they will be able to breast feed or not.
Pregnancy is an incredibly exciting time but also exhausting,overwhelming and very emotional for any new mums as they adjust to this life changing time.

The 5 main types of massage movements and benefits

Image
There are a variety of different strokes used during a typical massage routine. This depends on the style of massage, the clients  requirements and how the therapist conducts her treatment.  When I am working on a client I personally like to use a variety of massage movements not only to enable the massage to be as effective as possible, but also so that I can tailor make the session to cater for each individuals needs as client satisfaction is extremely important to my practice. Below is a summary of the main massage movements used in swedish massage which is the most common style of massage practised,the reasons for each stroke and the benefits that are gained as a result. All the strokes are done in an upwards motion towards the heart. The strokes are described as I personally use them and in order for what I have found to be the most effective way of practicing but each therapist obviously has their own method of what works best for them and their treatment. ...

What are defence mechanisms and how can we recognise them in our self and others?

What are defence mechanisms and how can we recognise them in our self and others? Everyone one of us if we choose to be completely honest with ourselves have at some time in our life used defence mechanisms as a way of protecting ourselves from feelings which arise as a result of our ego feeling threatened in some way and coming under attack. Defence mechanisms are not something we can always consciously control, they can often be non voluntaristic but can often lead to what others may perceive as unpleasant behaviour leading to inevitable judgement if they are not recognised for what they are. A huge reason why I am so passionate about tantra is that it encourages people to remove the mask and be free to be who they really are and yet so many of us continue to wear these masks to enable us to continue feeling confident in our everyday lives. Unfortunately, we are often our own harshest critic and for most people situations that bring uncertainty into our lives can often trig...

  Why is following a diet designed for your individual blood type so important? Part 2 In a previous post I explored Dr Peter J. Adamo book “Eat right for your type” which suggested that following a diet specifically recommended for individual blood types diet could have a huge impact on health and wellbeing.   I decided to explore this issue of blood types further and uncovered other fascinating concepts that can be derived from blood type including the exercise recommended to allow the body to operate at an optimum level, personality characteristics and recommended careers which would be suitable. Some of the information stated below is taken directly from Dr Adamo’s book. Through my research I have shared below what I discovered about each of the blood types, of course as individuals this may differ from your own personal characteristics but perhaps see if you can relate in any way …In Japan blood type is particularly favoured in relating to compatibility in Love and jo...
