Zero-Based Pediatric Massage

"Is pediatric massage effective?" "Can babies do pediatric massage?" "What should I pay attention to after pediatric massage?"... With the questions from mothers, the editor contacted Professor Liao Pindong, and Professor Liao talked about his clinical experience. He once treated a 3-month-old baby, only 4 pounds, who had to force-fed every meal. The key was that he had to be held by his mother to sleep every night, and would cry and become restless every hour. At the beginning, Professor Liao judged based on syndrome differentiation that the baby's poor development was due to spleen deficiency and congenital deficiencies, but the treatment effect was not good for a period of time. Professor Liao repeatedly asked himself: "Why is the effect not good? Why is it not growing? When will the baby grow?" After repeated thinking, he found that night is a critical period for the baby's growth. If he doesn't sleep well, how can he grow well? Professor Liao added to the previous methods the abdominal dislocation method, the abdominal shaking method, the strong belly holding method, and the abnormal stimulation method. Each operation meets the child's safe tolerance. The child's sleep improved that night. After more than three months of conditioning, Dabao has grown to 11 pounds, and Xiaobao has grown to 9 pounds. Moreover, during the 3 months of treatment, the child only had one cold. Later, Professor Liao and the editor also talked about many medical cases encountered in the outpatient clinic, which made the editor deeply feel that by finding the right massage ideas and using the right massage methods, the wish of allowing children to have fewer injections and take less medicine can really be realized. Professor Liao and the other editor-in-chief of this book, Ms. Xiong Qian, have always had this expectation, hoping to provide more comprehensive, more systematic, and more professional knowledge of pediatric massage to thousands of parents and pediatric massage workers.
