I have done training in massage during pregnancy and in particular the use of essential oils during pregnancy and childbirth and I have quite a number of clients for this. Many of them are just about to give birth or have done so over the christmas period and I wondered how soon after birth it is ok to have massage again. I don't remember covering this in my training.
I know that most women have a 6 week check up after birth with their GP/midwife so wasn't sure whether to wait until then or not.
Obviously, it would depend on how the birth was, whether there were any complications, whether it was a natural birth etc. and their health in general but wondered what others though about it. I can imagine it being very beneficial to help get rid of any remaining fluid retention, help improve the skin condition, elasticity, and stretchmarks etc.
