One way to fight postpartum depression and symptoms is through a massage. After all, our bodies go through crazy changes during pregnancy. Not only do massages help your physical wellbeing, they also help mentally and emotionally, too, and speed up the overall recovery process. As moms, we worry about everything, and our constantly tense. Massages give us a little “me” time. Massages also reduce swelling, regulate hormones, increase milk production, aid in better sleep, and of course, fight off depression.

Key Takeaways:

• Pregnancy is very difficult on your body, your mind and your soul and postpartum massage is a great way to help manage the strain.
• Benefits of postpartum massage include reduction of stress, reduced swelling, regulation of hormones, better sleep and even increased milk production.
• As soon as you feel up to it and your doctor gives the go ahead you can find a qualified and licensed postpartum masseuse. Some good online resources include amtamassage.org or abmp.com/public.
