Massage Therapy: Birth and Infancy

Most people are surprised to hear that we work with newborn babies and young children here at PAMT.  Did you know massage therapy can play a substantial role in the growth of a child, both physically and developmentally?

The birthing process is not only strenuous for the mothers, it can also create strain patterns in the body that may lead to difficulty with nursing, sleeping, inconsolable fussiness and abnormal bowel function.  As children get older and progress to the toddler stage, some children are late to crawl or ‘scoot’ across the floor instead. Through gentle types of work such as Cranio Sacral Therapy and Myofascial Therapy, these problems can be remedied early on.  PAMT can help to create the best recipe for success during these crucial developmental stages. 

We love seeing mothers during their pregnancy as well as infants directly after birth.  The earlier we are able to work with any problems that may arise the better.  Most babies don’t need many appointments to address issues they may be having during these early days and maintenance appointments once per month are often enough to keep on top of any new difficulties. 

Our goal to keep our community active for life starts at birth.  If you have any questions about our treatments, we are always ready to answer your questions. We are here to keep your whole family Active for Life!
