About The Preventive Care Baby Massage Course

This 6 steps Shonishin preventive care baby massage course aims to help the body of your newborn, baby or toddler to avert causes of typical baby-related issues. It is the most basic of all Shonishin treatments, because it focuses on the baby’s energy.

The term “energy” refers to the energy which the human body extracts from food. Obviously, the human body requires that energy to maintain a proper functioning of its organs.

In very simple terms, for this supply of energy to work properly, the human body needs two things: a flawless digestion to extract the energy from the food. And a well-functioning distribution of that energy to the organs.

In babies, this can be a challenge, because both, her digestive system and the energy’s “distribution channels” are still developing. Because of that, energy can get stuck along the way. The best example is constipation, in which case the energy got stuck somewhere along the digestive process.

The preventive care baby massage course addresses those issues. It aims to maintain a smooth energy supply in order to avert causes of typical baby-related issues.

Accordingly, this preventive care baby massage treatment is for you, if you are looking for a baby massage treatment which can be applied as a precautionary measure.
