Massage Therapy
What is Infant Massage?
Massage therapy for children and babies is a gentle and nurturing practice that promotes relaxation, physical development, and emotional well-being. It involves soft, rhythmic strokes and pressure techniques tailored to a child’s age and needs, enhancing circulation, muscle tone, and flexibility.
For babies, massage fosters parent-child bonding, soothes colic, and encourages better sleep patterns. In children, it can alleviate stress, support growth, and even aid in managing conditions such as sensory integration challenges or physical disabilities. Massage therapy creates a calming experience, helping young ones feel secure and supported while nurturing their overall health and development.
