Postnatal Massage Therapy, pt 2 – My Review.

30 Mar 2010

I began the course for my postnatal massage therapy on the 13th day after my delivery. The experience was rejuvenating and it wasn’t “smelly” as I thought it would be.

Yati is the name of my masseuse. She has tiny hands like mine, but 10x stronger and they perform wonders on tired flabby stressed muscles *thumbs up*

Why it wasn’t smelly? Because she uses Eucalyptus Oil mixed with Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Oil for the massage. So besides feeling refreshed, I also smelled delightful despite being mummified for hours.

My best record of leaving the “bengkung” on was 10 hours! The discomfort was bearable — be prepared to sweat and you cannot bath! — but not very breastfeeding friendly on my back. After the 2nd session, I developed a rash on my belly and had to stop 2 days before continuing.

Initially I planned to do a course of 10x, but by the 8th, it seems I wasn’t going to go any smaller. I’m still 4″ away from my pre-pregnancy waistline *sobs* Well most importantly, the water retention I had during my pregnancy was gone and my uterus has returned to its original size *yay*

How much did I pay for her services? RM800 for 10x or RM850 for 5x, and she will provide the Kain Bengkung. I paid her at the end of every session. Her massage sessions are around 2.5-3 hours each time — I guess this varies depending on body size

Want her contact? Drop me a comment and I’ll email it to you to avoid pranksters. Please note that I do not get any commission for this, but you may namedrop me *grin*

Would I recommend this to you? I’m going to quote Dr Tan on this: If you have the extra cash, go ahead! *winks*

Whoa! Look at the respond below.

I wish I am getting a commission every time! Yati should give me a free courtesy massage

My mom just told me to look for one now that I’m in confinement. I have been looking high and low for the past few days. Can’t find one that services around PJ area. I found one but she’s really expensive, charging RM150 per session for the same treatment you experienced. Do you know if she does urut only (don’t require bengkung, balut etc.)? Can you share the contact with me, please? Many thanks!

Hi,

Could you please email me her contact? If in the middle of massage and baby cry wanna drink milk, can stop the massage a while and breastfeed then continue again since each session about 2.5 to 3 hours?

May 7th, 2010 at 9:50 am

Hi Carmen,

I’ve just dropped you an email with her contact.

It should be fine to stop for 15minutes to breastfeed but if longer I am not sure. If you take morning, she will need to rush off for her afternoon appointment. So perhaps you opt for afternoon because she’ll be off after that

I breastfeed just before she comes each time. Do send her my regards when you call. Happy massage!
