Sports massage can partially compensate for a lack of exercise during inactivity while recovering from injury. Sports massage helps increase strength, bulk, flexibility and range of motion while decreasing your chance of injury. If injuries occur, sports massage can reduce pain and speed recovery. Besides, it feels good. Infant massage is a growing practice.
Massage helps our precious newest members of the planet thrive.
A typical infant massage may last from 15 to 35 minutes. A baby's muscles aren't developed enough to have knots so vigorous kneading strokes are not used. All of the strokes should be long, slow and rhythmic with just enough pressure to be comfortable but stimulating. Gentle abdominal massage is also included. Pre-term infants, infants exposed to drugs or HIV, as well as children with chronic diseases such as arthritis, asthma, autism, burns, cancer, dermatitis and diabetes can benefit from massage.
