Postnatal Massage Singapore

Would You Like to Quickly Get Back In Shape & Regain Your Energy After your Delivery?

Hi, my name is Salwa Salim, founder of Mummy’s Massage. As a mother myself, I understand the importance of a good postnatal massage and postnatal care.

Undergoing a long 72 hour labour during my first delivery and with difficulty in breastfeeding, the support I received from my therapist prevented me from falling into depression. Not only did my morale improved, I manage to successfully breastfeed exclusively and proud to get back into my pre pregnancy weight and shape after just 3 weeks of a daily regimental postnatal care.

The Malay Jamu Postnatal Massage is directly passed down to me from generations of practicing midwives and massage therapist. With the combination of my Malay heritage, my background in the medical and massage industry, and my ongoing research over the years, I have created Mummy’s Massage Postnatal Jamu Program that is safe and backed by medical understanding and with a personalised touch as a mother.

Let my team and I help you ease you into motherhood, like how we helped thousand of other mothers with the only original and authentic Singapore Postnatal Massage services. Read our testimonials from our happy clients or watch our video to understand how our program works.

UPDATE: 3 years and 3 babies later..

Here is a picture of me and my 3 kids ages 3 years old and below celebrating the completion of my 40 days confinement period. I realized the key to a happier & healthier postpartum period is to have periods of rest, relief from pain, having energy and body confidence.

My postnatal massage program has allowed me to be rested and relief me of my bodily pain. The jamu herbs and massage gave me a boost of energy and the bengkung bellybind has helped me flatten my tummy and slim down my body. This has increased by confidence, gave me a positive body image – making me a happy mummy!

Do You Know What
Pregnancy Does To Your Body?

Postnatal Depression

During pregnancy, your body has a very high level of oestrogen and the moment the baby is born, it drops drastically back to normal. This sudden change in hormones level is one of the main factor to postnatal depression.

Especially at these period of high sensitivity, other triggers such as environmental change, body change, aesthetic concerns, and other stressful factors causes the mothers to feel hopeless, which further aggravates postnatal depression.

Stress on Body

Do you know a human body can bear up to 45 Del (unit) of pain? During childbirth, a woman feels up to 57 Del (unit) of pain. This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time. So imagine the pressure and the pain and stress of labour on your body. The immense pressure in “pushing” the baby out may cause small blood vessels in your body to burst.

Prior to the pain of labour, your body has endured 9 months of stress and pressure on the different parts of the muscles groups and joints causing pain and discomfort and also affecting its normal proper functions.

Physical Body Changes

Your body will go thorough many changes, some are more permanent and some are temporary which will disappear gradually once the pregnancy is over.

This includes changes in the weight, skin, hair, breast, hips, legs, feet and even your bones.

Stress on Reproductive System

Imagine a full blown balloon distended on a rubber band for 9 months. This is the scenario as the pelvic muscle and uterus are stretched out to carry a growing baby in the uterus. The added weight and pressure of pregnancy can weaken the pelvic floor muscle. Prolonged period of distended muscles and ligaments can cause them to loosen & slip out of position causing complications such as: Prolapsed Uterus & Disposition of Organs.

Thus the uterus has the tendency to rest or press against the bladder, causing incontinence (which is why you urinate frequently while you are pregnant). After childbirth if the uterus is left untreated and not positioned back in its original position, it will press on the bladder causing incontinence.

Stress on Muscle & Joints

During pregnancy, the uterus expands and presses against the muscle on the front of the abdomen, rectus abdominis. Sometimes, this may cause a separation of the muscle in the midline causing back pain and bad posture.

In order to allow the muscle to ‘merge’ to its original state, compression is provided to the front abdominal part of the body supporting the rectus abdominis, thus reducing swelling of the uterus. This can be achieved through binding (slimming wraps).
