RMT Post Natal Massage Therapy Brampton

During pregnancy, there is an increase in hormone production which may leads, among other things, to a greater tendency for sodium reabsorption and a consequent water retention, which produces swelling.

Lymphatic fluid build-up post pregnancy is common, as the body has stored excess fluid to prepare for birth. However, there are some sorts of fluids which are normal and other fluids which are annoying and downright depressing.

The fluid in the lymphatic system helps remove waste and toxins from the bodily tissues. Postnatal ladies are often less active since they now have a baby to care for, meaning the muscles don’t pump fluid out as efficiently. One thing that can help is lymphatic Drainage massage.

Lymphatic massage works by stimulating the lymph nodes, then massaging the lymph fluid out proximally then distally and back to proximally.

Lymphatic drainage is recommended straight after a normal delivery and 14 days after a C-session.
