It is a moment of tenderness, deep connection, and sensory discovery.<br \/>\nAt ABC Clinique Sant\u00e9 Qu\u00e9bec, located in Duberger\u2013Les Saules, our massage therapists, including Fannie Cusson, author of this article, support families from pregnancy onwards to create these precious moments that nurture attachment and well-being.<\/p>\n<h2>Massage during pregnancy: a first form of communication with your baby<\/h2>\n<p>From the second trimester onwards, your baby can already feel touch. Even before birth, they can sense your movements, your presence, and your love.<\/p>\n<p>Massaging your belly during pregnancy becomes a gentle and soothing ritual. It allows you to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>communicate with your baby<\/li>\n<li>strengthen your bond<\/li>\n<li>involve the other parent in a warm experience<\/li>\n<li>create a family moment that prepares for the baby&#8217;s arrival<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>During prenatal massages at our clinic, we use fluid movements reminiscent of waves, evoking the baby&#8217;s aquatic and safe environment. This gesture naturally soothes them and accompanies them in their transition to the outside world.<\/p>\n<h2>Postnatal massage: care for mother and baby<\/h2>\n<p>After giving birth, your body and daily routine change rapidly. Between fatigue, breastfeeding, prolonged positions, and mental stress, tension builds up.<\/p>\n<p>To address this reality, ABC Clinique Sant\u00e9 offers mother-newborn massage:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>moms receive soothing and comforting care<\/li>\n<li>babies stay close by, reassured by your warmth and scent<\/li>\n<li>no complex logistics: you enjoy a moment just for yourself, without separating from your child<\/li>\n<li>Each session becomes a cocoon where you can relax your shoulders, emotions, and tensions. A safe space to catch your breath, settle down, and promote gentle recovery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Massaging your baby from birth: benefits and routine<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Baby massage offers profound benefits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Strengthens the parent-child bond<\/li>\n<li>Soothes colic and gas<\/li>\n<li>Supports the immune system<\/li>\n<li>Promotes relaxation and better sleep<\/li>\n<li>Improves body awareness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2238\" data-end=\"2396\">The baby discovers its body: it feels secure and loved. Little legs, little feet, toes&#8230; everything becomes a tender and reassuring game. We create a calm and safe environment. Soft lighting, slow movements, soothing voices. Touch becomes a language of love. Over time, this practice becomes part of your daily routine. Like a bedtime story. Like a hug. You create a precious ritual that will remain etched in their emotional memory.<\/p>\n<h2>Massage for older children<\/h2>\n<p>As children grow older, they retain memories of caring touch. Massage for children then becomes :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a moment of joyful sharing<\/li>\n<li>an opportunity to learn gentleness and listening skills<\/li>\n<li>support for anxious or restless children<\/li>\n<li>a natural tool for improving sleep and emotional regulation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We also teach simple techniques that young children can use to massage their mom, dad, or even their stuffed animal, encouraging empathy and awareness of others. When necessary, we work in collaboration with other professionals\u2014chiropractors, physical therapists, or osteopaths\u2014to offer comprehensive support to your family.<\/p>\n<h2>Make an appointment at ABC Clinique Sant\u00e9<\/h2>\n<p>You can easily incorporate a short massage session into your family routine, before bath time, before bedtime, or during a quiet moment.<\/p>\n<p>At ABC Clinique Sant\u00e9, our massage therapists will be happy to show you simple techniques tailored to your baby, their age, and your pace.<\/p>\n<p>Discover how baby massage, prenatal massage, and postnatal massage can enrich your family moments&#8230; and transform your daily life with your child.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"p1\">Visit the clinic nearest you:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/abccliniquesante.com\/en\/clinique-sante-vaudreuil-dorion\/massotherapie-a-la-clinique-de-vaudreuil-dorion\/\">Massage therapy &#8211; Vaudreuil-Dorion<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/abccliniquesante.com\/en\/valleyfield\/massotherapie-a-la-clinique-de-valleyfield\/\">Massage therapy &#8211; Valleyfield<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/abccliniquesante.com\/en\/trois-rivieres\/massotherapie-a-la-clinique-de-trois-rivieres\/\">Massage therapy &#8211; Trois-Rivi\u00e8res<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/abccliniquesante.com\/en\/mirabel\/massotherapie-a-la-clinique-de-mirabel\/\">Massage therapy &#8211; Mirabel\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/abccliniquesante.com\/en\/chelsea-gatineau\/massotherapie-a-la-clinique-de-chelsea-gatineau\/\">Massage therapy &#8211; Gatineau<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/abccliniquesante.com\/en\/quebec\/massotherapeutes-a-la-clinique-de-quebec\/\">Massage therapy &#8211; Qu\u00e9bec<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/abccliniquesante.com\/en\/boucherville\/massotherapie-a-la-clinique-de-boucherville\/\"><span class=\"s3\">Massage therapy &#8211; Boucherville<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/abccliniquesante.com\/en\/sherbrooke\/massotherapie-a-la-clinique-de-sherbrooke\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Massage therapy &#8211; Sherbrooke<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baby massage: a ritual of gentleness and connection at ABC Health Clinic Qu\u00e9bec (Duberger\u2013Les Saules) Baby massage is much more than just a treatment.
