Infant Massage

What is Infant Massage?

Massage has been used since ancient times to improve well-being of babies. In fact, it is used so often that caregivers have been using it without realization. Massage starts with the very first contact with the baby – caressing, stroking the tiny hands and touching the velvety soft skin. When these strokes are added together, a massage is created.

Infant massage is a sequence of strokes adapted from Indian massage, Swedish massage and foot reflexology. When put together, it creates a powerful massage technique that has been proven by research to be highly beneficial to babies.
