Pain Science Education Episode 156 | Christine Robenalt, MPT: The Power Of Massage And Manual Therapy – How To Manage Pain And Discomfort In Infants And Children
We're discussing the power of massage and manual therapy, how it can be used to manage pain and discomfort in infants and children. Our expert guest is Christine Robenalt. Christine graduated from Marquette University in 2001 with a Master's degree in Physical Therapy. Although she's worked in many different practice settings, Pediatrics is both her specialty as well as her passion. In addition to her degree in Physical Therapy, she's also a certified infant massage instructor through Loving Touch International and has additional in-depth training in primitive reflex integration. Christine has also furthered her education by completing the Integrative Pain Science Institute’s Functional Nutrition for Chronic Pain practitioner certification program and implements evidence-based nutrition education for both children and their families. You'll learn all about the research supporting the benefits of massage for infants and children, when you can start massaging your infant and if there are any conditions when you should not perform massage on your infant or child, what to do if your child is bothered by massage, doesn't like to be touched or maybe wants to sit still.
Christine will provide a free video demonstration. Hopefully you can access this on the blog at the Integrated Pain Science Institute. She'll teach you how to help an infant or child with pain from constipation. Christine has also provided you with a free PDF download all about massage for infants. After downloading and reading this handout, you'll feel confident and excited to begin massage with your child and you'll learn how massage and other sensory experiences directly impact your child's growth, development and learning.
