Occupational Role of Parenting - Infant Massage & Tuina (29 Jun & 6 Jul)

Parenting and Grand-parenting is a most significant occupational role. There are growing evidences of parent, parent-to-be, grandparent and care giver in learning Baby and Infant Massage/Tuina.

The role of the School and learners are to facilitate the best outcomes for their Children. We all believe that Massage and Tuina helps stimulation of physiological systems, relaxation and relief from physical pain such as colic, bedwetting, night crying as well as promoting good parent infant interaction.

The group will proceed with more Tuina techniques with Penny Chew and our Licensed TCM Physician Mdm Tan Ai Tee on 6 Jul 2008.

DIY Massage Tools

Most of us instinctively give ourselves a massage without even thinking about it. We rub our forehead and temple if we have a headache. We rub our shoulders and neck if stress and tension is getting too much.

You can massage yourself with just your hands or you can use tools, which can make things both much easier and effective. Try making your DIY massage tools with tennis or golf balls, rice in socks etc. These DIY items are economical and reusable. You could use it whenever you like

Tennis Ball Massager

Tennis or golf balls can become instant massage tools. Put 2 tennis balls in a sock & placed them under your back or hip while sitting on the couch or lying down. If you find some tender spots, place the tennis ball on that area until the you feel the pressure and tension being relieved.

Foot & Wrist Massage - To get your feet or wrist feeling better,use golf balls. Place them in a sock and put them under your feet or wrist while sitting at your desk or while watching television.


Hot Rice Sock Massager

Pour 2 cups of rice in a sock until it looks like a hack sack. Tie a knot in it and placed it in the microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute. When the rice is heated up, the "hot sock massager" is really soft and feels really soothing. You could pressed it over any soar muscles such as shoulder, neck, arm etc. You could reheat it over and over again and the "rice ball" is still very fragrant.

LUNCH-TIME TALK @ SLA

The lunch-talk on DIY Massage @ Singapore Land Authority (SLA) this afternoon was well received. The audience were fun and warm.

Hope the group had benefitted from the techniques discussed, and will apply the skill to "hit-off" those knots in their muscles.

AN INDIAN ART - THREADING

Wants a Bollywood Eye Brow?

Threading has been one of the hottest depilatory fad recently. What was once an old fashioned beauty treatment is now a major drawing card for high-end SPAs and salons in Singapore. Threading and Brazilian Wax has evolved from ethnic to hip status and is widely available at Salons located in CBD areas as well as “Five-Foot Pathway” in heartlanders estates.

For last Saturday’s class, we received students from as young as 13 years old and also students of vary races and nationality. Angelina even flew in from Sabah to attend the programme. Trusts they have learnt and enjoy the session very much.

Next batch tentatively schedule on 26 Jul 2008 (Sat) from 9.30am to 4.30pm.

Reach Out and Touch Someone’s Life

Our pilot Volunteering Work kicks off smoothly this afternoon, with 5 great Volunteers and Bryan Laoshi.

They were there like a much needed friend, offering a pair of listening ears as well as providing a pair of healing hands to help knead away the residents’ tensed muscles & loneliness. They talked and joked with the residents and were much “tested” on their not so fluent dialects. Anyway, touch therapy is already an “international language”, the rest does not matter.

Along with the word 'volunteering' comes many ideas and images about what it means to be a volunteer. In reality, it means being a friend...someone to chase away the lonliness and make a person feel loved!

Thank you Mabel, May, Soo Fan, Teresa,Pam and not forgetting our great help "Miss CREAM"! If you want to know who is "Miss CREAM", join us in our next session scheduled on 5 July 2008 (Sat). We also welcome on-board new members Eleana, Kendra, Amy and Jessicca. Hope more students can join us for this meaningful activity. 加油 JIA YOU Everyone!
