Colic Relief Tuition
Colic has to be one of the most distressing experiences that parents regularly go through. I can always tell if someone has experienced it just based on their facial response to the word. Prevention being better than cure, I always prefer to teach pre-natal setting, to minimize the chances of gastric distress developing or at least be detected early before it reaches unbearable levels of discomfort.
Combining essential elements from the age old practices of Indian massage; Swedish massage; Yoga practices; and Reflexology, Vimala Schneider McClure developed a sequence of strokes, designed specifically for just such purposes. Infant massage is one of the few known ways to bring about relief for colic and gastric distress. Infant massage works to stimulate the circulatory and nervous systems in an 'organised' manner; relax the muscles of the digestive system; balance respiration; aid waste elimination in the immature system; and stimulate production of Oxytoxin - a hormone which works as a pain reliever, bringing about a calming effect.
Taught in a private, 45 minute session, we will cover:
- Relevant anatomy
- Contraindications
- Recommended environments and times to massage
- Stroke order and duration; exercises; and other 'hands on tools' to use
Being a mobile service, we come to you, and the hours of operation are flexible. Private sessions for Colic Relief (whether pre or post natal) cost $50. To make a booking, please Contact Us.
