CHIROPRACTIC AND REMEDIAL MASSAGE FOR POST PARTUM IN ADELAIDE

The post partum period is the time after childbirth when a mother’s body begins recovering from pregnancy and delivery.

While welcoming a new baby is life changing, many women experience physical discomfort during this stage.

 Hormonal changes, muscle strain, altered posture, breastfeeding positions and sleep deprivation can all place stress on the body.

At Chiropractic On Winston, post partum chiropractic and remedial massage treatment in Adelaide, focuses on helping mothers recover safely while reducing pain and restoring movement.

 Gentle care can support the body during this important transition and improve overall comfort in the weeks and months following birth.

Why Post Partum Discomfort Happens

Several factors can contribute to post partum discomfort:

• Changes in posture while feeding the baby

• Carrying the baby on one side

• Weak abdominal muscles after pregnancy
   
• Pelvic floor weakness

• Hormonal ligament laxity

• Caesarean section recovery

• Prolonged labour strain

• Sleep in awkward positions

These changes can affect spinal alignment and muscle function, making simple daily activities uncomfortable.

Remedial Massage for Post Partum Recovery

Remedial massage can assist by:

• Reducing muscle tightness

• Improving circulation

• Supporting healing

• Decreasing stress hormones

• Relieving breast feeding related tension

• Reducing headaches

• Promoting relaxation

• Improving sleep quality
• Seek professional assessment if pain persists
  

Massage can be especially beneficial for mothers experiencing persistent muscle soreness from holding and caring for a newborn.

How To Reduce Post Partum Discomfort Naturally

Although some physical discomfort is common after birth, there are ways to reduce the likelihood of ongoing problems.

Helpful prevention strategies include:

• Maintain good posture during feeding

• Alternate feeding positions

• Strengthen the core gradually

• Perform pelvic floor exercises

• Use ergonomic baby carriers

• Avoid twisting while lifting

• Sleep with proper support

• Stretch gently each day

Small changes in daily habits can significantly improve recovery and comfort.

When To Seek Professional Help

You should seek treatment if you experience:

• Persistent back pain

• Pelvic instability

• Severe neck pain

• Numbness or tingling

• Pain that worsens daily

• Difficulty walking comfortably

• Ongoing headaches



A professional assessment can identify whether the discomfort is related to spinal joints, muscles or soft tissues.

Recommended steps include:

• Rest whenever possible

• Use supportive pillows while feeding

• Apply heat to tight muscles
