Postnatal Massage Course

I believe that being able to offer a Postnatal woman some ‘time out’ as well as be able to adapt the session to help her with any niggles, aches or pain can make a big difference to how she copes with this time.

This course should give you the confidence to provide a session that caters for the whole woman and her postnatal needs.

Key highlights of this course include:

• Positioning and Safety Protocols: Ensuring the client’s comfort and safety with bolstering and positioning techniques and learning how to adapt a session post C section or if breastfeeding.
• Learn how to work safely and confidently with a mother’s abdomen.
• Understand and be able to work with some postnatal conditions
• Learn how to assess and help a mother with a Diastasis
• Learn side lying techniques as well as supine to be able to cater for very new mums
• Being able to work with her ribs and diaphragm to ease any postural issues
• Working with a Postnatal pelvis to ease coccyx, sacrum or pelvic issues
• Feel confident to assess posture and give advice
• To understand the basics of pelvic floor contraction and relaxation

Who is this Course for?

This course is for Massage Therapists qualified to a Level 3 who are interested in adding Postnatal massage into their offerings. Postnatal woman can come to us either to find time to switch off or with issues and niggles from their pregnancy, labour or early postnatal time. Being able to offer them a session that goes above and beyond a normal massage is really caring for them holistically.

How could I progress from here?

I also offer an Advanced Pregnancy & Bodywork 4 day course for Therapists looking to work with women in pain and discomfort. This course helps you to assess a women confidently to work out what is causing her pain, work with it and offer aftercare to support your work.
I also offer a Pregnancy Massage course for Therapists wanting to work with women once they have had their baby. This course again, is looking at being able not only to relax a mother but to be able to work with her to assess any discomfort or pain she may have and be able to treat her.

Assessment for certification:

There is some pre learning to get you into the subject before you start the course. This is so that when we come to discuss it you are already comfortable with the knowledge.You will be assessed throughout the course and asked to complete an assignment at the end. This can be on a subject of your choice and it will be discussed during the 2 days.

Why train with me?

Importantly, I like to keep my classes small so that I can be hands on for help and support at any time. I have been massaging pregnant & postnatal women for over 18 years. I have never stopped updating, learning and equipping myself with the skills that I know makes me stand out from other Massage Therapists and I want to be able to pass this knowledge and experience onto you. I still work full time with my clients, and this is important because I keep up to date with changes within the area.
I am passionate about helping women through every stage of life but equally as passionate to make sure Therapists working with these women have the confidence and knowledge to give an outstanding treatment and that the knowledge is up to date.
