Having a baby is magical. However, it also causes many physical and emotional changes in your body. From sleepless nights and breastfeeding strain to swelling, pain, and mood shifts, postpartum recovery can feel overwhelming.
That’s why many new moms today are searching for more than just a “normal massage.” They want a safe, women-friendly space that understands their recovery with care — not rushed like a regular salon service.
At Ashlee Spa, we create our Post Pregnancy Massage in Chennai specifically for new mothers. It offers gentle healing and careful care. You will also find deep emotional relaxation in a calm and private spa setting.

Why Post Pregnancy Massage Matters for New Moms
After delivery, your body enters a major recovery phase. Hormonal changes, muscle strain, fatigue, and fluid retention can affect even the strongest mothers.
A well-designed postnatal massage can help you:
- Relieve back, shoulder, neck & hip pain caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, and holding the baby.
- Reduce swelling in legs and feet by improving circulation and lymphatic flow.
- Improve sleep quality and help your body relax deeply.
- Ease postpartum stress and irritability, supporting emotional balance.
- Support gentle abdominal recovery when done at the right time, safely.
- Improve overall wellbeing — because caring for others reduces overwhelm.
A post–delivery massage in Chennai is different from regular full-body massages. It must consider the mother’s medical history, delivery type, energy levels, and sensitivity. This is where Ashlee Spa truly stands out.
Extra Benefits Most Moms Don’t Know About

Post pregnancy massage can also support:
- Breastfeeding comfort by reducing upper back + shoulder tightness.
- Lower stress hormones and calm the nervous system naturally.
- Better posture by easing pelvic and lower back tension.
- Reduced body heaviness through gentle lymphatic drainage.
- Improved mental clarity after weeks of postpartum fatigue.
This is not cosmetic therapy. This is recovery support — done with dignity.
When Is It Safe to Start Post Pregnancy Massage?
No “one date fits all” answer exists. Safety always comes first.
✅ After Normal Delivery
Many postpartum care providers start structured massage about 5 to 7 days after delivery. This is only if there are no complications and your doctor agrees.
✅ After C-Section Delivery
Most expert protocols recommend waiting at least 3 weeks, sometimes longer. Massage should only begin after the wound heals properly and with gynecologist clearance.
At Ashlee Spa, we do not proceed without safety screening. If you had:
- C-section
- heavy bleeding
- high BP
- fever/infection
- severe swelling
- medical complications
we strongly recommend medical clearance first.
Why Ashlee Spa Is Different from Other Post Pregnancy Massage Options in Chennai
When you search online, you’ll see a few common types of services:
- Ayurvedic at-home postpartum packages with long rituals
- Directory listings of “massage ladies”
- Quick salon packages labelled as “postnatal massage”
- Home-service providers through beauty platforms
Most options focus either on medical ritual systems or low-priced quick massages.
Ashlee Spa offers something rarer:
Clinical-aware care + calm luxury spa healing
How Ashlee Spa Stands Out for New Moms

✅ Spa-Grade Environment
Quiet, peaceful rooms have controlled lighting, soft music, and strict hygiene. They are very different from crowded salons or rushed home visits.
✅ Trained Female Therapists Only
All post pregnancy massages are performed by experienced female therapists trained to handle new moms with sensitivity.
Special care is taken around:
- breasts/upper back
- abdomen area (only when safe)
- hips + lower back
- swelling regions
✅ Comfort-First Setup for Postpartum Bodies
New mothers often feel discomfort lying flat. At Ashlee Spa, we support you with:
- extra pillows
- side-lying setup if needed
- semi-reclined positions
- soft linens
- mild room temperature
✅ Gentle, Not Aggressive
No harsh pressure.
No painful techniques.
No fake “tummy fat reduction in 1 session” promises.
We focus on:
- relaxation
- circulation improvement
- gentle muscular relief
- emotional calm
What to Expect in Your Post Pregnancy Massage at Ashlee Spa
Every mom is different. That’s why we never conduct our sessions in a template style.
1) Short Intake & Comfort Check (2–3 mins)
Your therapist will ask:
- type of delivery (normal / C-section)
- delivery date + complications
- pain areas
- breastfeeding discomfort
- sleep issues
- doctor restrictions (if any)
This helps us tailor the session to your body — not force a routine.
2) Gentle Full-Body Focus (60–90 minutes)
Your massage may include:
Back & shoulders
Relieves breastfeeding strain and tension buildup.
Neck & head
Eases headaches, mental fatigue, and stiffness.
Hips & lower back
Supports pelvic muscle relaxation after delivery strain.
Legs & feet
Improves circulation and reduces swelling.
Abdomen (only when medically appropriate)
Extremely gentle surface-level strokes only when healing is adequate and approved.
The techniques are slow, nurturing, and rhythmic — designed for healing, not endurance.
3) Carefully Selected Oils
Unlike strong-smelling medicated oils used in some centres, Ashlee Spa uses:
- mild, skin-friendly, high-quality oils
- fragrance-light or unscented options for breastfeeding moms
- oils suitable for sensitive postpartum skin
Your comfort comes first always.
4) Post Session Care Guidance
After your massage, we give simple support tips:
- when to bathe
- how long to rest
- hydration reminders
- basic posture tips for feeding/holding baby
So the benefits extend into your daily routine.
Who Benefits Most from Post Pregnancy Massage?
Almost every mom can benefit once cleared by her doctor — especially if you are:
- feeling constant back/neck pain from breastfeeding
- struggling with sleep
- emotionally overwhelmed
- feeling body heaviness and swelling
- missing “me time” and needing peaceful recovery time
A gentle note:
If you’re experiencing severe postpartum depression, massage is not a replacement for therapy or medical treatment. But gentle touch, a calm environment, and feeling cared for can support overall wellbeing.
Important Safety Notes for New Moms
You should wait or avoid massage and consult your doctor first if you have:
- heavy ongoing bleeding
- fever or infection signs
- uncontrolled high blood pressure
- painful/red/swollen C-section wound
- history of blood clots
- serious varicose veins
- any condition where massage is restricted
At Ashlee Spa, therapists are trained to pause or stop immediately if anything feels unsafe.
Why Many Moms Prefer a Spa Over Home Massage
Home services may be convenient, but often lack:
- professional hygiene control
- a supportive bed setup for postpartum recovery
- calm spa atmosphere
- trained screening-based protocols
Ashlee Spa provides:
✅ safety + comfort
✅ women-friendly privacy
✅ premium hygiene and setup
✅ emotionally calming environment
