The Back to Health Center is now offering Infant Massage Classes. This class is for parents/caregivers who are interested in a more hands-on, interactive approach to connecting with their baby. The classes are small enough so that parents and infants can interact and learn from each other. The course will teach the parent/caregiver the techniques to comfort, calm and soothe your infant.

Infant Massage is an age-old tradition that has been passed down through generations since the beginning of time. Infant massage provides numerous benefits including:

• Infant-parent bonding

• Promotes better sleep

• Boosts immune system

• Helps alleviate gas and promote elimination

This course will be taught over a number of 4-5 weeks, enough time to give both the parent and baby time to become comfortable with receiving and giving massage. To ensure your confidence with the class material, each week the course instructor will demonstrate new strokes while reviewing strokes from previous classes. Classes start in May and will be held at the Back to Health Center. The course is taught in small groups to ensure personalized attention. For additional information, please contact Crystal Craighead, Certified Massage Therapist at the Back to Health Center (703) 683-7771.
