"Babies cry; it's totally normal."
But, it’s not.
When babies have been fed, burped, and changed, and are still crying… they are likely in pain and uncomfortable. Pre-Birth Postural Deficits develop in the womb. Depending on their position, certain muscles will become tight and contracted. The act of being born does not automatically loosen those tight muscles to the proper length. The Moench Method is able to be adapted to our tiniest clients for specialized baby massage.
Ken’s book on this subject will be available soon!
How it Started
In 2012, Ken gave a baby massage using his method for the first time; his grandson, Austin, was 3 weeks old. The "colic" symptoms subsided immediately and his overall demeanor drastically improved. In 2014, Ken worked on a second baby; his granddaughter, Calla, at 36 hours old. Considering that both babies had "easy" births, this was the moment that the lightbulb went on!
Where It's Going
Correcting Pre-Birth Postural Deficits, and getting babies out of pain, is monumental in their overall development. They will be able to absorb more of the world around them. Being approached by adults with smiles, not stress, will be huge. Their bodies will physically develop stronger and with less restriction.
