So anyway, this month, the most popular question being asked, to find my website is:

Can I get a massage whilst I am still breastfeeding?

Yes.

That’s it, that’s the post. Joking. There’s more to it than that.

Of course you can.

As long as there is no inflammation in the breast, and you are not being treated for anything else, nae bother.

If you are concerned about leaking breastmilk, please don’t be. If you are comfortable lying face down, then I would give you a small towel to put under your breasts, or you may choose to keep your bra on, and be wearing breast pads.

If your boobs feel tender, I can treat you in a side lying postion. Massage doesn’t always have to be face up or face down. I can massage people sitting in chairs, wheelchairs, fully clothed, it’s not a problem. Massage therapy is adaptable.

Treating a client in a side lying postion can often mean that I can get in a wee bit deeper to shoulder and hip areas too, so there are benefits.

If you are reading this, and you have any further questions, please do get in touch. Email is best.
