Body Massage Therapy Techniques for Your Baby in Oldsmar, Trinity, Safety Harbor and Clearwater FL

without comments

Mothers are the best massage therapists for their own babies. The home is the baby’s very own massage spa. Here are some body massage therapy techniques for baby’s torso that mothers in Oldsmar, Trinity, Safety Harbor and Clearwater FL can learn and apply very easily. These are done with the baby’s torso unclothed in a warm room without draughts.

The most basic stroke for baby’s chest and back is called the open book. The mother puts her palms together with the thumbs near her and the pinky fingers on the baby’s side. The pinky fingers are placed on the baby’s skin and the palms are opened with the pinky fingers moving away from each other while the thumbs remain together. The opening movement continues until the thumbs of the mother are flush against the baby’s skin. The thumbs then separate and move away from each other, also sliding against the baby’s skin.

Mothers can start a massage session by using the open book stroke on the baby’s chest, by the ribcage. Her palms should end up smoothing the baby’s torso under the arms.

She should repeat the open book stroke on the chest, but with the palms moving up to the baby’s collar bones to his shoulders and down the tops of his arms.

The mother should then position her hand diagonally on her baby’s chest with her fingers pointing to one shoulder. She should smooth up her palm until it passes under her baby’s chin to the crease of the neck. She should then use her other hand to do the same toward her baby’s other shoulder.

Moving down the lower torso, the mother should draw an arch with the balls of two fingertips from the top of her baby’s right thigh upwards following the underside of his ribcage and down to the top of his left thigh. This direction is complementary to baby’s digestive system.

The stroke called “scooping the sand” describes the motion of the mother seeming to scoop sand out of her baby’s tummy under his ribcage. This is done five times with each of the mother’s hands. It is repeated with the mother’s other hand holding up the baby’s legs.

A variation of the arch follows, this time using all the balls on the fingertips of one of the mother’s hands. She traces a rainbow from the top of her baby’s right thigh upwards to a point below his belly button and down to the top of the left thigh. She then sweeps her fingers back through the same route to the right. The full cycle is done five times, with the mother taking care not to rub her baby’s skin in an irritating manner.

The mother then walks her fingers horizontally just above her baby’s belly button from right to left, then slides her fingers back to the right. This is done five times.

Finally, he mother puts her thumbs together and spreads both pals like a bird in flight. She should place her thumbs in the middle of her baby’s stomach with her fingers curved around his waist. Her thumbs should be just on top of her baby’s belly button. She should then slowly separate her thumbs and move them away from each other toward her baby’s sides.

Mothers can be the massage therapists for their babies but self-massage is not as relaxing. Mothers deserve to be pampered, too. They can go get Swedish massage therapy, deep tissue massage therapy or sports massage therapy from any reputable massage spa in Oldsmar, Trinity, Safety Harbor and Clearwater FL. They will emerge refreshed and rejuvenated enough to be their best with their babies again.

Brandon Residents Can Now Have a Taste of Massage Envy

without comments

Image taken on by .

There is a common misconception that massage is a luxury afforded only by the very rich. This is all it is—a misconception. Now that Massage Envy has come to Brandon, the residents in and around the Valrico, Riverview and Bloomingdale areas can now enjoy the best massage therapy available in the market today at an unbeatable price.

Massage Envy is a nationwide leader in massage, with 800 clinics all over the country. Now located in 2092 Badlands Drive, Brandon, Florida 33511, massage therapy is now available even here.

Some of its specialties are Pregnancy Massage, Sports Massage, Swedish Massage and Deep Tissue Massage. Here’s a taste of what you can enjoy beginning today.

Pregnancy Massage

Pregnancy affects women in a multitude of ways. Pregnancy Massage can help expectant moms in Brandon adjust to their changes and feel great at the same time. Done properly, it can reduce stress, promote relaxation and facilitate transitions through emotional support and physical nurturing. It can also reduce edema and blood pressure, relieve varicose veins and improve blood circulation. Most importantly, if done regularly, it can reduce the length of labor and the need for drug-induced birthing. In addition, one of the most exciting findings shows that women massaged during pregnancy had babies with fewer postnatal complications and a lower rate of prematurity. Scientific fact behind what Massage Envy already new: a healthy mom who takes care of herself is better equipped to care for a child, even in utero.

Sports Massage

For the athletes in and around Brandon, there’s also Sports Massage. This is designed to help athletes prepare their bodies for optimal performance, recover after a big event, or function well during training. But a person doesn’t have to be in the Olympics to benefit from sports massage. Sports massage is also good for those with injuries, chronic pain or restricted range of motion. This is actually a type of Swedish massage that stimulates circulation of blood and lymph fluids. Some sports massage movements use trigger point therapy to break down adhesions (knots in the muscles) and increase range of motion.

Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is the most commonly offered and best known type of massage. It was developed by a Swedish physiologist, Henri Peter Ling at the University of Stockholm in 1812. It uses a firm but gentle pressure to improve the circulation, ease muscle aches and tension, improve flexibility and create relaxation. Swedish massage employs long, gliding strokes, kneading of individual muscles, friction, hacking or tapping and vibration. Swedish massage is actually the foundation for other types of Western massage, including sports, deep tissue and aromatherapy

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue Massage is a type of massage aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia, also called connective tissue. Deep tissue massage uses many of the same movements and techniques as Swedish massage, but the pressure will generally be more intense. It is also a more focused type of massage, as the therapist works to release chronic muscle tension or knots. It shouldn’t hurt, but it’s likely to be a bit more uncomfortable than a classic Swedish massage. You should always feel free to speak up if the pressure is too much for you.

There are many more types of massage offered by Massage Envy and there will be at least one or two that each person will find the most beneficial and enjoyable. The trick is to try it at least once and experience for yourself the wonders of touch. Come and visit Massage Envy at Brandon today and see the difference a little massage therapy can make.

Earlier this year, Gary Trask, Dan Igo and I identified the casinos we wanted to visit in 2010 . And Dan had identified Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut as one of the places he wanted to travel to. As luck would have it, I ended up traveling to Foxwoods before Dan did.
