Is postpartum Ayurvedic massage scientific or spa-like?
I recently visited Ayurvedic massage centre for postpartum. The doctor asked few basic questions about my age, where I have pain, my bowel movements, my diet,etc and then prescribed full body Kizhi massage and shiraadhara. While those treatments felt good, I don’t think they tackle the core issues after childbirth like diastasis recti, pelvic floor muscle weakness,etc. My physiotherapist was quick to determine these issues and recommend specific exercises. I don’t think Ayurvedic treatment address any of the postpartum concerns. Then why do people still believe and go after Ayurvedic treatment especially after child birth?
