Massage is the best way to solve problems associated with joint diseases. Currently, there are several types of this procedure, which is carried out not only for the treatment of a specific disease, but also for prevention. Everyone should understand that from time to time massage is necessary for adults, and especially children.
How to massage
Irina Krasikova is one of the best teachers in the Russian Federation who know the technique of conducting children's massage. She also wrote several well-known books on gymnastics for babies, which tells about the features and conditions of this procedure.
One of the most important requirements for performing a massage is a solid foundation, otherwise all efforts will not bring the desired results. Conditions should be suitable not only for the child, but also for the massage therapist himself. He should be able to approach the patient from all sides, as doing massage in one position is quite tiring. According to Irina Krasikova, warm, but fresh air should prevail in the room. If the procedure is performed in the spring-summer period, you can open the window, which will contribute to hardening.
Types of massage
Massage is very useful for a growing body if it is done correctly. For this reason, a specialist should deal with the procedure. Those who need massage should first consult with a pediatrician, so that in case of contraindications he gives the necessary recommendations.
