Post Natal Massage & Myotherapy in Plenty, Diamond Creek, South Morang, Eltham, Greensborough & Doreen
Post Natal Massage & Myotherapy
Postnatal massage is a supportive treatment designed to help your body recover after pregnancy and birth, easing tension, improving circulation, and restoring comfort as your body adjusts. Postnatal myotherapy builds on this with a more targeted approach, addressing specific muscle and joint issues to reduce pain and improve movement.
Together, these treatments help relieve aches, ease pressure through the back, hips, and pelvis, improve posture, and support both relaxation and better day-to-day function—so you feel more comfortable, mobile, and supported in your recovery.
A Personalised Approach to Postpartum Care
Recovery after pregnancy isn’t one-size-fits-all — your body is healing, adapting, and adjusting day by day, and the support you need will change along the way.
That’s why every session at Birthing Body AU is tailored to:
Your stage of postnatal recovery
How your body is feeling that day
Where you’re holding tension or fatigue
Your comfort with positioning during treatment
Whether you need targeted treatment, relaxation, or both
Your care may include:
Gentle postnatal massage techniques
Targeted myotherapy for overworked muscles
Supportive positioning for comfort
Soft tissue release for the back, hips, glutes, shoulders, and arms
Practical guidance to support your recovery between sessions
This is care that meets you where you are — supporting your recovery with comfort, understanding, and a deep knowledge of how your body changes after pregnancy.

Hannah Lynch
Myotherapist & Founder
Hi, I’m Hannah — a women’s health Myotherapist, remedial massage therapist, mum of two, and the founder of Birthing Body AU. I’m deeply passionate about supporting women through Pregnancy Massage, Pregnancy Myotherapy, birth preparation, C-Section Scar Therapy, postpartum recovery, and women’s health care at every stage of life.
My own journey into motherhood changed everything. It gave me a much deeper understanding of how much women carry physically, mentally, and emotionally — especially while navigating pregnancy, recovery, parenting, work, and the ongoing demands of everyday life. I experienced firsthand how often women are expected to simply “push through” discomfort, tension, exhaustion, Back Pain, Pelvic Girdle Pain, and the constant changes happening within their bodies.
But I believe you deserve more than just coping.
That’s why my work is centred around creating a calm, supportive space where you feel listened to, cared for, and understood. Whether you’re seeking support for Pregnancy Pelvic Pain, Sciatica Pain, muscle tension, postural strain, birth recovery, or general movement and wellbeing, every treatment is tailored to your body, your symptoms, and what you need support with on the day.
Using a combination of myotherapy, remedial massage, soft tissue therapy, pregnancy massage, and movement-focused care, my goal is to help reduce pain, improve movement, and support you in feeling more comfortable and connected to your body again.
At Birthing Body AU, care is about more than simply treating symptoms — it’s about supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, recovery, movement, and everyday life with a gentle, evidence-informed, and holistic approach.

Frequently Asked Questions About Post Natal Myotherapy

Of course—babies are always welcome. We’ve created a calm, supportive space for both you and your little one. For the best experience, we recommend attending your treatment on your own where possible, so you can fully relax and switch off. For added peace of mind, some clients choose to bring a support person to stay nearby with baby, making it easy to step out for feeds or cuddles if needed. Feel free to bring your partner, mum, or a friend—they can wait in reception, head out for a short walk, or grab a coffee nearby while you enjoy your session.
