What physiotherapists think about infant massage
Ref: IAIM Annual Conference 2004

“Touch is a powerful communication tool between mother and baby. A happy, relaxed, loved baby exudes love in return . A mother who feels loved and nurtured will be in the best of health!”
Tracey, Senior Maternity Physiotherapist

“Familiarity with muscle tone, what is normal for the child is great. If the baby is in pain you may get rigidity. Massage may alleviate this”
Caroline, Gynaecology Physiotherapist
