After birth there's so much love — and also tiredness, broken nights and a body that has been through a lot. A postpartum massage with us means a gentle, relaxing oil massage that gives you a rare moment of calm and care that's just for you. It's not a medical or rehabilitation procedure, simply a soothing treat for a tired body.
In short: a gentle, relaxing oil massage for new mums — only once bleeding has stopped and your doctor has given the go-ahead. We adapt pressure and positioning to you.
First, the important part — when and with whose blessing
We want to be completely honest with you. A postpartum massage with us is a relaxing wellbeing massage, not a medical, physiotherapy or rehabilitation procedure. We make no medical claims and we don't treat post-birth conditions — that's for doctors, gynaecologists and physiotherapists.
Before you book, please: wait until postpartum bleeding has fully stopped, and get clearance from your doctor or gynaecologist first. After an uncomplicated birth this is typically around 6 weeks, and longer after a caesarean. Every body heals differently — follow your doctor, not the calendar.
Still pregnant? That's a different massage
If you're still expecting and looking for a massage before the birth, this page isn't the one — it's for the time after your baby arrives. For pregnancy we offer a dedicated, purpose-adapted pregnancy massage with safe positioning and gentle pressure.
Why new mums treat themselves to a massage
A new mum's body carries a lot — quite literally. The most common reasons mums come to us after birth:
- Tension from feeding and carrying — hours held in one position while feeding, and endless lifting of your baby, settle into the back, neck and shoulders.
- Tiredness and broken nights — a gentle massage helps you unwind and switch off for a while.
- A rare moment just for you — an hour of quiet, calm and self-care that's so hard to find in the early months.
We don't promise any of this as a treatment — it's about rest, release and the feeling that someone is finally looking after you, too.
How this works at ESCAPE
We deliver a postpartum massage through two of our gentle oil massages, adapted to your tender body:
- Aromatherapy massage — a gentle oil massage with calming essential oils, perfect for unwinding and settling the mind.
- Coconut oil massage — nourishing, warm and gentle, soothing for a tired body.
Before we begin we'll chat quietly, bring you a welcome herbal tea and find out what feels good for you. We always adapt pressure and positioning — comfortable for a tender body and for breastfeeding mums (for example, with support under the chest). And you set the intensity yourself at any time with SOFT / STRONG. You'll also find everything in our overview of massages and in the price list.
What to expect from us
We're a boutique Thai massage salon in the centre of Prague 1, Elišky Krásnohorské 133/11 — a few steps from the Old Town Square. We're open daily 10:00–22:00, so a massage can fit between feeds or while dad or grandma watches the baby for an hour. Our therapists are certified and trained at prestigious schools in Southeast Asia, we use natural oils and welcome you with herbal tea. Do let us know in advance what you need — we'll make sure you feel comfortable.
A massage as a gift for a new mum
Looking for a way to spoil a new mum? A massage voucher is one of the loveliest gifts — it gives her permission to take a moment just for herself, guilt-free. See how in our article Massage as a gift.
