physiotherapy is a sort of alternative and complementary treatment. It is used as massage therapy for infants. As a matter of fact, baby massage therapy is used all over the world, and has been common in Western countries as well. However, there is no solid scientific evidence to prove that baby massage is helpful for babies. According to some research, baby massage can help an infant gain weight. But there is no solid evidence to back this research up. Research is still on in order to find out the effectiveness of baby massage. According to a research, baby massage can help a baby sleep well. But this evidence is not strong enough. So we cannot say that massage is beneficial for kids from all corners of the world. In short, more research is needed. For baby massage, you can take your kid to an experienced physio in Perth. Now, let me teach you how to give massage to your lovely baby at home. Below we have some step-by-step instruction with which you can easily give massage to your infant. For your comfort, we have divided the massage technique into 6 strokes. You should do each stroke slowly for at least 60 seconds. You should apply moderate pressure using your fingers’ pads, not the palm of your hands. Turn up the heat in your room to keep your infant comfortable. Use a towel to cover up his exposed skin. These tips are recommended by expert physiso in Perth. Before you start giving massage, consider the follow tips. 1. First off, cover up the bed or floor with a comfy mat or blanket. 2. Now, apply a couple of drops of olive oil or bay oil on both of your hands for moisture. 3. Start stroking off his head and move towards the top. Now, massage the backside of his neck. 4. You should stroke across both shoulders from his middle of neck to his arm. Remember: it is better to massage one side of the shoulder at a time. 5. Now, start massaging your baby’s back and move down towards his hips using your hands. Be careful not to cause any harm to his spine. 6. Run your fingers’ pads down the backside of your baby legs simultaneously. Now, go back towards upside again. 7. Now, repeat this practice once again on your baby’s arms’ back. 8. Lastly, turn your infant over on his back. Carry out the down-up strokes on his/her chest and his legs or arms front. 9.
