Postpartum massage VS physiotherapy

Hello mummies, Just want to ask is postpartum massage and wrapping necessary? What do you think of massage VS physiotherapy? I feel like I should invest in long term pelvic floor health and physio for recovery of diastasis recti and allow organic recovery of the womb. But everyone is telling me massage is needed?

I would say both would help you. After your pregnancy, do the traditional binding and massage to through your confinement. Then afterwhich, you can see specialist to treat your diastasis recti. Majority of the mummies have this but it depends how the diastasis recti is. They do treatment as well as exercise. Diastasis can also cause pain during sex, you will have visible "pooch". Hence, if you want to keep it in place, nice and lean you may try both ways.

If you would like to keep it traditional ways you can without wasting $ on physiotherapy and packages. However, after confinement you can keep using the velcro 3 pcs binder or waist trainer and do exercise to keep it maintain. But if you think it is still visible then you seek that another options.
