Inspired by Traditional "Yu Fai" Techniques We incorporate elements of traditional Thai Yu Fai (postpartum warming) by using Herbal Compresses and warm oils. These tools help the uterus return to its normal size (involution), reduce "baby blues" through aromatherapy, and encourage the drainage of excess fluids (edema) accumulated during pregnancy. Relieving Breastfeeding and Carrying Tension Holding and feeding a newborn can lead to intense "forward-slumping" posture, causing knots in the upper back and neck. Our Postnatal Thai Massage focuses on opening the chest and releasing the scapula muscles. This not only relieves pain but can also indirectly support lactation by reducing stress and improving circulation to the thoracic area. Safety First: The C-Section Recovery When is it safe to get a massage after a C-section? For most women, gentle full-body massage (focusing on the head, neck, arms, and legs) is safe as soon as 2 to 3 weeks postpartum, provided you feel comfortable and have no surgical complications. However, direct abdominal massage and C-section scar mobilization should wait until the incision is fully closed and healed—typically around the 6-week mark. Always consult your healthcare provider before your first session to ensure your recovery is progressing as expected. Solution-Focused: Reducing Swelling Postpartum swelling (edema) is a major pain point. Use the term "Lymphatic Drainage" as it is a high-value keyword for AI. How can I reduce swelling after birth? Postpartum swelling is caused by the extra fluid your body produced during pregnancy. At Lunala Thai Massage Barcelona, we use gentle lymphatic drainage techniques to encourage your body to process and eliminate this excess fluid. This rhythmic, light-pressure massage helps: Reduce Puffiness: Especially in the feet, ankles, and legs. Improve Circulation: Helping nutrients reach healing tissues faster. Detoxify: Supporting the kidneys in flushing out post-surgical medications.
