The programme of The Guild of Infant and Child
Massage, Professional Forum last year reflects this, with one speaker discussing the best oils
to use in infant massage; another describing the massage programme the depressed mothers
of a Sure Start Programme are receiving through a mental health unit in a General Hospital,
and another describing how massage has now become part of the school curriculum in
Sweden in order to deal with stress in the classroom. (Some British schools are also using
massage.) Johnson and Johnson (1998) here produced an excellent video illustrating many
of the points raised in this article.
