Swedish Massage After C-Section: Recovery Timeline & Precautions

Question
How long after a caesarean Section can you have a swedish massage? Or i can carry this out but avoid the abdomen area.

Answer
Hello Sharon,

I would advise to wait a few weeks(6 to 8) before receiving a massage.
It is best to have a release or a written approval from the physician before receiving a massage. Once the incision has healed, massage would be very beneficial in breaking up adhesions from the scar tissue and will restore the abdominal muscle wall and the uterus to its normal state.   

Have a Wonderful Day.
