Massage is effective, painless and safe method, which allows to strengthen the child's health. It contributes to the harmonious development of muscles, ligamentous apparatus and spine, improves blood circulation, normalizes many processes in the body.
During the massage, the child receives tactile sensations necessary for the proper formation of the nervous system. Touch for babies – the main method of learning about the surrounding world. Massage creates the necessary tactile load and accelerates the mental and physiological development of the baby.
Provided massage in the first months of life, children develop faster. It is connected, including, with increased production of myelin, which is necessary for growing nerves (myelin surrounds the most important part of the fibers for higher nervous activity).
A child's mood and behavioral algorithms, arising from childhood, also depend on physical contact. The lack of touch and their weak intensity at an early age can negatively affect the self-confidence and stress resistance of a teenager and, subsequently, an adult.
Lack of physical activity and tactile sensations is one of the reasons for weak immunity and a large number of neurological diseases in modern people. Massage fills this "gap" in human development.
