In Touch Infant Massage

Touch is the sense which is the furthest developed and is the primary form of communication between a parent and their infant.

Infant massage classes held in a calm, nurturing and relaxing environment. Parents and babies benefit from learning loving touch, communication, respect, pain relief and bonding.

Did you know that studies on the effect of nurturing touch and skin to contact for very low birth weight neonates conclude that touch promotes weight gain and may achieve an earlier discharge?

'Effects of Massage Therapy on the Development of Babies Born with Down Syndrome' - new research published in May 2020 has concluded that Infant massage therapy improves the development of babies with Down Syndrome in the short term.

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of implementing infant massage therapy on the global development of babies with Down syndrome, in order to compare the effect in different areas of development. Previous studies only looked at a specific area of development. Infant massage could be part of the preventive care of physiotherapy, as a complement to early care programs, ensuring the general development of the child, such as gross motor function.

The massage protocol was specifically based on the methodology created by our founder, Vimala McClure.

Results: All developmental variables were improved in the experimental group but not in the control group. There were significant differences in developmental age between the two groups, and this outcome was better in the experimental group 💜

Touch is the first language we learn and remains our richest means of emotional expression throughout life.

Massage from a loved one can not only ease pain but also soothe depression and strengthen relationships. Nurturing helps the brain to learn to associate human contact with pleasure. This connection is one of the foundations of empathy. We connect first through nurturing, soothing touch and shared smiles.

I loved this post by Infant Massage and particularly in this strange 'socially distanced' time we find ourselves. Hopefully one of these days in the not too distant future we will all be able to enjoy the feeling of nurturing loving and respectful touch again 💞
