What's the benefit of going for a postnatal massage?

My masseuse helped me a lot for my clogged ducts as well as helping me to lose inches off my body within just 7 sessions. The cloth she used to wrap my body was the same everyday, but as the sessions went along the same length of cloth could go around my body more, that was how I knew I lost inches. Moreover she helped me to clear my blocked ducts. It got very serious in my armpit area and there were huge lumps. She massaged them out and channeled them to my breasts and helped to release it. That was also how my milk supply started coming in. Regardless of the benefits, the massage was the best thing during my confinement. I was able to take an hour off everything and just relax myself. I left my baby to the confinement lady and slept like a log!
