Eye Contact with a teeny baby or a child. It’s not as easy as you’d think. It’s a natural thing to do, and it’s a special moment of connecting beyond speech.
It’s something I look out for - the moment a parent and child arrive for a treatment - what level of contact is there, through the eyes?

A shy child will give the sneaky side eye, or quickly look away when you look at them. As the treatment goes on, the eye contact gets stronger and clearer.

But here’s the modern challenge - the child who arrives at a new place, and doesn’t look around at all. Who spends an hour surrounded by toys and a new lady , who is physically touching them - and makes no eye contact at all. Absolutely and definitely a flag which needs to be raised and addressed

The really complicated part? The baby/young child who arrives, fully immersed in the tablet or Phone, their brain and senses on an over-load.

No tablets/devices in the treatment room , can we make healthy human contact ?
If healthy human contact causes a fuss and anxiety for a child, we need to talk about that .
And then get to work on stimulating the brain to be able to form connection, through the eyes and I to the world
Baby Massage Pretoria and Ronel have practical tips for this too

They say that eyes are the windows of the soul - and the level of eye contact between parents and babies, or therapist and baby (or young child) is a special...

Things to do during a session!

How about having a little fun during your treatment ?
How about a little distraction from the pain in your neck and the tight spots on your skull?
What if you could build a necklace or a tower while the restriction of diaphragm gets relief - using a firm touch along the back?

The brain needs to move freely in the skull and the needs to move freely over whole body and skull.
Tension in the Fascial network can feels a lot like anxiety and jumpiness , it’s important to make the whole appointment as kind and easy as possible .
Suitable for all ages
It’s gentle, it’s effective

Session 16/42 Imagine being exhausted and struggling to fall asleep as your limbs keep twitching - that’s the reality of spasticity in a body with cerebral palsy
Hitekani came for 42 Hyperbaric Oxygen sessions - and we documented the changes. Protocol for brain injury is 40 sessions and that is a huge commitment of resources

It was so exciting when he noticed that reduced spasticity and twitching in the limbs means he’s getting way better quality sleep- and we all need good sleep for our brains to function optimally

These involuntary movements which are tiring and disruptive began to reduce almost immediately after his first Oxygen session and by Session he could interact more easily without the interruptions of an ever-moving body
