Introduction to the time and precautions of pediatric massage

Babies themselves do not know how to exercise and maintain their health, so parents can help their babies with some health care methods. We have found that helping babies with massage has very good results, so parents can learn some knowledge about baby massage and massage their babies more often in daily life. This can improve the baby's immunity and disease resistance and promote blood circulation.

The time for baby massage should be controlled. If the time is too short, it will not be effective, and if the time is too long, we are afraid of hurting the baby's body. Therefore, we recommend that the time for pediatric massage should be about ten to twenty minutes.

1. When massaging children, the technique should be light, not too heavy, and the child should be made happy before the massage so that he or she will cooperate with the massage.

2. Relax your body and mind. When doing pediatric massage, in addition to concentrating your mind, you must also be calm and composed, and not be tense throughout your body, so that both your body and mind are relaxed.

3. Select the acupoints accurately. Master the methods of locating and operating common acupoints to ensure accurate acupoint location and correct operation.

4. Use appropriate force. Because too little force will not have the desired stimulating effect, too much force can easily cause fatigue and damage the skin.

5. Take it step by step. The number of massage techniques should be increased from little to many, the massage strength should be increased from light to heavy, and the number of massage points can be gradually increased.

6. Persevere. Whether using massage for pediatric health care or to treat chronic diseases, the results will not be seen in one or two days. It often takes time for the effects to gradually show up. Therefore, when giving massage to children, one should have confidence, patience, love and perseverance.

In addition to the above precautions, you should also control the duration of pediatric massage, 10-20 minutes each time is appropriate. In order to enhance the therapeutic effect and prevent skin damage, certain drugs can be used as lubricants during massage, such as talcum powder, sesame oil, massage lotion, etc. If the local skin is damaged, ulcerated, fractured, has tuberculosis, tumor, bleeding, etc., massage is prohibited here. When operating, try to directly contact the skin. If children sweat after massage, they should avoid wind to avoid cold. In addition, do not give massage to children when they are too hungry, too full, or too tired.

Above we introduced that parents can help their children with massage. Pediatric massage has many benefits. It can not only improve children's immunity and disease resistance, but also promote children's metabolism and blood circulation.
