Postnatal recovery massage at Andrea Massage and Spa is a gentle session designed to support new mothers as the body recovers after childbirth. The weeks after birth bring a new set of aches, from a lower back still adjusting after pregnancy to shoulders and arms tired from feeding and carrying. New mothers in Little Neck, Douglaston, Great Neck and Bayside book this massage for relief and for a quiet hour that belongs to them.
Each session at our studio on Douglaston Parkway in Little Neck, NY begins with a conversation about how you are recovering and what your doctor or midwife has advised. Side lying positioning with supportive cushions is available whenever lying face down feels uncomfortable, and pressure stays within your comfort throughout. Clients on our Google profile call the massage very good and the therapist professional.
Easing the Strain of Early Motherhood
Your therapist works slowly over the lower back and hips, then moves to the neck, shoulders and upper back where the daily work of holding a newborn settles. The arms and wrists receive attention too, since they carry more than they used to. Strokes stay gentle, and the aim is to release tension, encourage circulation and support the body’s own recovery.
