Steps of Pediatric Massage

We know that we value children. In addition to giving them a safe body, we must also pay attention to their daily care. Why do I say that? We just need to learn pediatric health massage. What do you think? Don’t you think that this way we can take better care of our own lovely babies? So what are you waiting for? Let’s take a look at the steps of pediatric health massage.

Parents often consult us about their children's poor spleen and stomach function and frequent food accumulation. The main symptoms are that the children have no appetite, are emaciated, have dry and dull hair, a yellow face, a cold, or even mild anemia, and have a thick and greasy tongue coating.

Here are a few massage techniques that can help children regulate their spleen and stomach, aid digestion, and improve immunity.

The first step is to let the child lie on his back, and gently massage the abdomen in a clockwise direction, with the navel as the center, for about five minutes.

The second step is to push the thumb from the tip to the base for three to five minutes on the side close to the thenar eminence. In children, this area belongs to the spleen, and pushing this area can regulate the spleen and stomach.

The third step is to push straight from the tip of the index finger toward the base of the thumb. This is called pushing the large intestine, which can regulate the spleen and stomach. Three minutes.

Step 4: Massage Zusanli for three to five minutes. (Zusanli is located at the depression below the outside of the knee. Measure down one palm width of the child.)

Step 5: Place the child in prone position, lift the skin along both sides of the spine, and pinch from the coccyx upwards to the Dazhui point. Do it nine times in total, pinch three times and lift once for the last three times. Commonly known as pine bark.

If the child often suffers from indigestion, press and massage the spleen point for one minute. If your hair is dry, massage the kidney point for one minute. If you have anemia, press the diaphragm point for one minute.

Please note that children’s internal organs are delicate, so they must control their diet properly when their spleen and stomach are weak. Remember to change your clothes when the weather changes. If you find any illness, go to the hospital emergency room in time to avoid missing the best treatment time.

Well, the above is our basic introduction to the steps of pediatric health massage. What do you feel after reading it? Is it the same as what we think? We just need to be familiar with and remember the steps, which will be helpful for us when we are thinking about our babies! What do you think?
