Baby massage is certainly the most pleasant form of treatment for babies. It is extremely beneficial for baby wellbeing and development. Baby massage has been used instinctively for centuries by mothers all over the world. Thanks to several studies on the topic, we understand now the many benefits of baby massage.At Baby physio, Our physiotherapist offers baby massage in London and Baby Massage course in London
Importance of baby massage for the digestive system
The first therapeutic benefit of the baby massage is the action on the digestive system. During the first months of their lives, many babies have digestion problems, constipation, colic, or gas. A specific stomach massage will restore a good digestive function and help facilitate transit . This massage must be performed with very specific techniques in order to follow the colon and not disturb transit system. Done correctly, this massage is extremely effective and relieves the baby very quickly.
If your baby has other digestive issues, our osteopath in London offers also treatment against baby reflux and other digestive issues
Importance of baby massage for sleep and relaxation
Another benefit of the massage is the relaxing effect on the baby. The hand touch on various parts of the body stimulates the skin receptors, which reassure and calm. Feeling the touch of the hands relaxes and reassures him because of the focus and special attention from the parents. This massage is very effective for babies who have trouble sleeping because it calms their anxieties and allows them to have a deeper and less disturbed sleep . A baby who sleeps well is a welcome relief for exhausted parents.
This massage also stimulates the baby’s circulatory system and improves elimination of toxins from the lymphatic system, which, in turn increases overall vitality.
