| Description |
Infant massage is often used as a preparatory activity or therapeutic intervention for infants with neuromuscular disorders; however, evidence demonstrates that massage also benefits infant self-regulation, caregiver-infant attachment, and broader family wellness. This session will focus on the use of infant massage as an intervention means for family social participation and psychosocial health. The evidence for the psychosocial benefits of massage will be reviewed and discussed in relationship to occupational therapy practice.
