Do you want to rebalance your body faster after giving birth? Then a lymphatic drainage massage is ideal for you!

After your pregnancy, your body recovers from the surplus of blood and fluid. Since the blood volume in your body increases by about 50% during pregnancy, you will easier experience increased swelling and blocked channels in the chest causing increased body pain, especially in the lower back, hips and abdomen.

The lymphatic drainage massage stimulates the removal of fluids and toxins from your body, improving circulation and reducing swelling and various feelings of pain.

An improvement in your sleep quality - crucial during the months after pregnancy - therefore gives extra energy and a more relaxed feeling!
