Tip of the Week

Infant massage has rapidly become popular in the United States over the past several years. It is used as a way to help child development along smoothly, both physically and socially. This type of massage can allow babies to be more relaxed in a number of ways.

For one thing, it can reduce discomfort from gas and constipation. These are some of the reasons why many babies have difficulty sleeping. Relieving this discomfort will help a child sleep better, and in turn, help the parents sleep better too.

Infant massage also improves muscle development and circulation, while combating common problems like colic. Parents typically hire Massage therapists trained in these types of massage to get the ball rolling and teach them how to massage their children. It can then help facilitate the growing bond between parent and child.

Training in infant massage is invaluable and can be put to good use in hospitals as well as by private contractors making home visits and teaching parents various techniques.
