Postnatal Massage & Recovery Services in Singapore
Postnatal massage is the most-booked confinement service in Singapore, and the one most mums book even when they skip everything else. A typical course is 5 to 10 sessions in the weeks after birth, combining massage, womb care and abdominal binding (the bengkung in Malay-style jamu, or a binder in TCM-style treatments) to ease soreness, reduce swelling and support the body back into shape.
What it costs: roughly S$450–S$800 for a package of five home-visit sessions, or S$90–S$180 per single session. Clinic-based TCM packages that add herbal treatments or acupuncture run higher. Many providers here travel to your home, which matters a lot in the first fortnight.
This category also covers lactation consultants, TCM physicians offering postpartum treatment, doulas and womb-care specialists. If you're recovering at home without a nanny, these are the services that fill the gap — and they pair well with confinement meal delivery. See the cost guide for how postnatal packages compare with a full centre stay.

Frequently asked questions
How much is postnatal massage in Singapore?
Expect S$90–S$180 per session, or S$450–S$800 for a five-session home-visit package. Ten-session packages that include herbal treatments, womb care and binding typically run S$900–S$1,500. Home visits usually cost slightly more than clinic appointments.
When should I start postnatal massage?
Most therapists start around 5–7 days after a vaginal delivery, and 3–4 weeks after a caesarean once the wound has healed. Check with your doctor first, particularly after a C-section, and tell your therapist about any complications during delivery.
What is the difference between jamu and TCM postnatal massage?
Jamu is the Malay-Indonesian tradition using herbal oils, a warm stone compress and the bengkung cloth binding. TCM-based treatment uses ginger or herbal oils with meridian work and often pairs with herbal drinks. Both aim to reduce swelling and support recovery.
