Medical massage, unlike the usual relaxing one, should be done solely by the doctor, because the goal is to treat the body, and if you engage in self-medication, then no one can guarantee the consequences.
Medical massage
It can be general or local - when there is an impact directly on the area that requires intervention. Before the session begins, the doctor must determine the duration of the course and the technique of exposure. The basic methods for all types of massages are classic: stroking, rubbing, kneading, vibration. And the procedure for the procedure, the intensity and duration depends on the nature of the disease, the course of the disease, the intensity of treatment, on individual factors.
Usually, therapeutic massage is prescribed for the prevention and treatment of the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, musculoskeletal system, digestive system, nervous system. And after several sessions or a full course, the working capacity of muscles increases, the blood vessels expand, blood supply improves, possible deposits dissolve, a number of beneficial changes occur in the body, thanks to which the body comes to life.
Therapeutic massage for infants
Children's massage is done to prevent and treat diseases that can befall a child at an early stage of development. Even before the first year of life, the baby can have problems that require this type of intervention.
Children's massage can have several directions, such as correcting errors in the development of joints, treatment of acquired diseases, for example, the nervous system, strengthening the immune system.
From the first days of life, the baby can massage him. At this age - this gentle stroking from the head all over the body, to the fingers and toes. And already from the first months of life, the baby is recommended to do restorative procedures lasting 10-15 minutes every night before bathing. Contrary to the fears of parents, they can quite cope with this task themselves, but still it is very important for the first demonstration time to invite a specialist. Thanks to the daily procedures, it is possible to prevent joint dysplasia in the child (of course, if this is not a birth injury requiring the help of an orthopedic physician), muscle tone. You can relieve pain with bloating, colic, improve concentration, etc.
