"Kids talk when you touch them." sought a certified therapist. A mother's touch and rubbing her hands on her baby's body are a reflection of the communication between the two parties. There are many medical facts that support the importance of touch.
Interest in hand treatment has become so popular these days that even ordinary physicians are now embracing these therapies as beneficial not only in reducing stress, but also in speeding up postoperative recovery, controlling addiction, and relieving chronic pain from migraines, arthritis, and more. serious diseases.
We have come a long way in understanding the importance of influencing human development. To prove the point that touch strengthens the immune system, a number of researchers have developed a series of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Based on the results of the study, it was found that there was a decrease in cortisol levels and an increase in the activity of the killer cell in the study subjects given touch and massage therapy. Natural killer cells are immune cells that are important in killing infected cells and cancer cells. In children with chronic illness, touch can relieve symptoms and allow them to live a normal life. In fact, researchers say that 15 minutes of physical activity a day can help a diabetic child stay within normal limits and improve the lung function of a child with asthmatic. In the womb, babies are stimulated by pressure from their environment. It is something all children, especially "enemies" or premature babies lack.
Some recent research has provided evidence that enemy systems need to hear controlled stimuli to help them grow and develop. Some studies indicate that all children benefit from touch therapy. According to the University of Miami’s Touch Therapy Institute, children who get a daily massage gain an average of 47 percent and are discharged from hospital for up to a week before the unassuming babies.
Touch therapy offers many benefits to newborns. Some of these benefits include;
Improving the well-being of the newborn;
Improving the process of interaction between child and parent;
It speeds up the recovery from the usual traumatic events of birth and / or long-term severe cuts;
Helps to alleviate tooth discomfort;
It promotes growth and development, especially in children who were very sick at birth;
It reduces premature problems and provides loving comfort to children who are hospitalized and separated from their parents;
It benefits the baby from the time of conception; and
It accelerates recovery from medical and surgical procedures.
Further research shows a strong link between touch and emotional development. Studies have shown that infants of the Netsilik Inuit tribe of Canada Arctic are calm and cry a little too much. This is thought to be because they are constantly carried on their mother's back and cannot communicate with them by touching them. In another study conducted on the Child Development Program at Montreal Children’s Hospital, researchers asked volunteer mothers to carry their babies for at least three hours a day. Then they compared the cry of the children with that of the portable group. The children who were caught most cried a little. Massage research in the Philippines has also shown positive results in many activities for infants and toddlers. These findings have led to widespread support for massage therapy in the local pediatric community.
Not only is the touch or massage beneficial to the baby’s health, but more importantly, babies who are massaged at an early age form a warm, positive relationship that continues as the child grows older.
