Receiving bodywork can help your baby to experience the movements and the kinesthetic stimulation that they need to relieve tension from their bodies. Bodywork can benefit every baby, but more specifically it is beneficial for babies with tongue/lip/buccal ties. When a frenectomy is planned, bodywork beforehand and afterward can help improve surgical success, restore functionality, and foster proper development of the face, jaw, and airway.
Services Include
- Hands-on touch and physical therapy to allow a baby’s soft tissues to relieve tension in the baby’s body, which strengthens and lengthens the muscles – especially those associated with breathing and breastfeeding
- Slow, gentle movements across the baby’s body, paying particular attention to the head and neck, the shoulders, trunk, hips, and feet
- Manual manipulation of the tissues inside of the baby’s mouth
- Helps support neurological integration, the process by which the baby learns to control and move their body
- Typically bodywork will be between one and ten sessions, depending on the particular needs of your baby, the type of bodywork and each session usually lasts about 30 minutes for infants
