✨ POSTPARTUM LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE — C-SECTION EDITION ✨

Because growing a whole human AND having major abdominal surgery deserves more than a “you’ll be fine” 🤍

After a C-section, your body can feel swollen, puffy, heavy and generally a bit weird?! — and that’s where gentle postpartum care can come in.

🌿 Lymphatic drainage is super gentle.
It works with your body’s lymphatic system to encourage the movement of fluid and can be a lovely treatment for that heavy, puffy feeling that can happen after birth.

And no…absolutely NOT here to “snap you back” into your pre-baby body.

🚫 No bouncing back.
🚫 No punishing your postpartum body.
🚫 No pretending you haven’t just grown a human.

✅ Just gentle, supportive treatment while your body does what it does best — HEAL.

Your C-section scar deserves some TLC too. As healing progresses, appropriate techniques can help support comfort and movement around the scar and surrounding tissues — but timing is everything.

Your body has been through A LOT. So we take it slowly, work within your stage of recovery and never, ever rush the process. 🤍

⚠️ Important bit: postpartum treatment needs to be appropriate for your individual recovery. Always follow the advice of your midwife, GP or maternity team, particularly after a C-section. If you have increasing pain, redness, heat, unusual swelling, discharge or concerns about your scar, get medical advice rather than booking a massage.

Basically…

You grew the baby.
You birthed the baby.
You’re healing from the surgery.

Make looking after YOU part of the plan. 🫶🏼

Things I don't do as a sports massage therapist...

🚫 Torture you for the sake of it
🚫 Diagnose you from one sore muscle
🚫 Blame everything on your posture
🚫 “Detox” your muscles
🚫 Promise to fix you in one session
🚫 Massage through nerve pain
🚫 Believe deeper = better
🚫 Pretend I'm a physio
🚫 Give you 400 exercises
🚫 Tell you to “just stretch”
🚫 Chase pain for the sake of pain

Because sports massage should be treatment, not a medieval punishment. 😂

And yes… that’s not how I roll.

🏔️ HILLS I’LL DIE ON — SPORTS MASSAGE EDITION 😂

❌ More pain ≠ better massage
❌ “No pain, no gain” — that’s not how I roll.
❌ Stretching isn’t the answer to EVERYTHING
❌ Waiting until you’re broken to book? Nope. 😂
