Technique MEBP® given on a futon lying on the floor and fully dressed. 

Giving the massage on a futon promotes a bond, proximity between the massage therapist and the child, who is free of any movement.

 

With special needs children, we must see the massage as a prevention tool and not only just a way to relax.
The massage must be done with a weekly frequency to maximize the benefits.
