Infant Massage is an ancient tradition of many cultures throughout the world which has been rediscovered in the U.S. Clinical evidence now shows that loving, touching and nurturing contact between infant and care giver has a positive impact on subsequent development. Many studies reveal the benefits of positive contact as an integral part of a baby's early life, and the unfortunate results when early attention is lacking. Massage is one of the most pleasant, easiest methods of providing this early positive contact.
Studies conducted at the University of Miami Medical Center show that premature babies who were massaged every day developed more rapidly, both physically and neurologically. Many newborn nurseries are now adopting Infant Massage as a regular part of their parent education programs, to help promote well-being and the loving bonds between parents and their babies.
