Anna Postnatal Care Center introduces non contact relief technique
Hong Kong healthcare provider Anna Postnatal Care Center introduced a traditional Chinese medicine technique on 14 August 2026 offering non contact pain relief for nursing mothers
On August 14, 2026, Hong Kong's Anna Postnatal Care Center introduced a groundbreaking non-contact method to alleviate severe postpartum breast engorgement pain. Senior lactation specialist Anna Shi, an expert in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), led the development of this technique. Unlike traditional practices that involve forceful pressure on the breasts, Shi's method employs facial meridian acupuncture points to relieve pain.
Within just one to three minutes of applying this technique, the mother experiences significant pain relief or complete alleviation. Subsequent gentle breast care is then administered. This innovative approach, which prioritizes pain relief before care, challenges the industry's longstanding mindset of "treating pain with pain."
By focusing on the mother's immediate needs and utilizing TCM principles, the Anna Postnatal Care Center is transforming postnatal care in Hong Kong, driving a shift towards more comfortable, scientific, and humanized maternal and infant care services.
