Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Therapists and caregivers always are looking for new techniques for use with children with special needs. Typically, there are concerns with what are the benefits of massage, how to position the child, which strokes to start with on a child, what conditions promote massage, and what is the latest research on massage. Kathy Drehobl and Mary Fuhr address these concerns in "Pediatric Massage-Revised." They provide a holistic approach to massage for children with special needs. Massage offers many benefits to children with special needs. These include: enhancing parent/child attachment and bonding; increasing parental confidence; deepening respiration; improving blood and lymphatic circulation; enhancing awareness of body parts through visual, tactile, and proprioceptive input; reducing hypersensitivity to tactile input; increasing the quality and quantity of phonation and vocalization; enhancing gastrointestinal function; and providing general relaxation for the caregiver and child.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book on a great concept, July 7, 2000
By "flyboy-gc" (McHenry, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This book is a must for anyone who has children or works with children in a therapy setting. I have practiced the concepts presented in this book on my own child and have noticed wonderful results. Pediatric massage is a great way to bond with your child and provide a valuable therapy session at the same time. The authors are knowlegable about pediatric massage and present the concepts in a way that makes them easy to apply. The book is well written with simple, yet informative illustrations. If you are a parent of a child with special needs, please get this book for yourself and recommend it to your child's therapist. You will be glad that you did.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, seen better, March 7, 2006
By D. Masters (Wesley Chapel, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I purchased this book hoping to get some ideas to use on some of my newer clients. I was disappointed in the book as it's not only small (I did look at number of pages before purchasing but the way they're laid out makes the information amount small as well), there is less information than I learned in school. If you're a Massage Therapist and have had a thorough education, hands-on experience and possess common sense, you probably won't benefit a whole lot. If you're new to massage, come from a school that doesn't look into anything other than the basics or just want some general information, this book would be really helpful.
