Burke Williams became an innovator in the massage and spa industry many years ago and over time we have continued to revolutionize not only our guest experiences, but also the massage modalities we provide, including more specialized services focused on lymphatic drainage, postpartum/postnatal solutions and more.

Looking at this post in particular which is aimed at how to recharge after giving birth, what are the real benefits of postpartum massages and how can they help you? 
 
To really answer these questions and provide the best insights, we decided to ask our team for their feedback. These are a few questions that stand out: 
 
What are the Benefits of a Postnatal Massage? 
After giving birth a woman’s body is in a state of healing and recovery, which can be achieved/nourished in a variety of ways including the foods they consume as well as additional/complementary steps like getting postnatal/postpartum massages. 
 
What Kind of Massage is Good for Postpartum? 
After talking with our team of internal massage experts at Burke Williams, especially when it comes to the kinds of massages that are best for postpartum guests at our spas, we feel these modalities are most important: Swedish massage, lymphatic drainage, craniosacral therapy and somatic emotional releases. 
 
How Often Should You Get a Postpartum Massage? 
Looking at postpartum massages and the frequency within which you should get them, it’s truly on a case by case basis that depends on a variety of factors, though given our experience we’ve identified various metrics that push new moms to get postpartum massages early on, including those experiencing bruising, pain, swelling and other symptoms. These are only suggestions and not medical advice.
