Postnatal Massage in New York City

Postnatal massage is a type of therapeutic massage designed specifically for women who have recently given birth. It gently supports your body’s natural healing process, helping you recover from the physical and emotional stresses of pregnancy and childbirth. Whether you had a vaginal delivery or a C-section, this nurturing therapy is tailored to meet your unique postpartum needs.

At Royal Relaxation & Recovery, we offer a warm, welcoming environment where new moms can restore, rebalance, and rejuvenate. Our skilled therapists focus on easing muscle tension—especially in the back, neck, and shoulders—while improving blood and lymphatic circulation. This combination helps reduce swelling, water retention, and soreness, encouraging faster recovery.

Postnatal massage also promotes hormone regulation and emotional well-being, providing relief from stress and symptoms of postpartum depression. Many clients find that it supports better sleep quality and fosters a deeper sense of calm and renewal during this transformative time.

Generally, postnatal massage can begin as early as one week after a vaginal birth (with your doctor’s approval) and after at least two weeks following a C-section, once the incision has sufficiently healed. Our therapists are trained to work safely and gently within these guidelines to ensure your comfort and safety.

• Reduces muscle tension and body aches (especially in the back, neck, and shoulders)

• Supports emotional well-being and reduces stress or postpartum depression
