Did you know that there’s actually an official Baby Massage Day? Well, neither did I, but apparently there is and it’s April 11th!

And I’ve heard that massaging infants helps them sleep better. Sleep is everything to parents with infants, so baby will be happy and so will you.

Here’s an excerpt from the article Getting in Touch with Baby on LiaSuzuki.com, which originally appeared on MSNBC:

Parents turning to ancient practice of infant massage

Strollers are double-parked in the hall outside, and 16 moms, one dad and 17 babies have packed a playroom at the 14th Street Y in New York City

Ban on Fish-Foot-Feeding Pedicures

Posted on March 6, 2009 by Lia Suzuki • 0 Comments

What!?!? Pay good money to sit in a spa and get bitten by little fish!?!?!?

Yes.

But not in Florida. Not anymore.

That’s right. Fish pedicures, a treatment where tiny carp nibble away the calloused, dead tissue from clients’ feet, have now been banned in Florida. According to Spa-News, the special pedicures were very popular. One spa AJ’s Salon and Spa, reported having done 200 fish pedicures per week at $35 each.

Sprains, tendonitis, broken bones… What comes to mind first when you hear these words? Football? Rugby? Mixed martial arts? Ballet? Wait. “Ballet”?!?! Yep.

The article Sprains and tendonitis: Dancer injuries and treatments by Lindsay Zier-Vogel introduces us to Paul Papoutsakis, the company athletic therapist for the National Ballet of Canada. As company athletic therapist, Papoutsakis “regularly treats acute injuries, like twisted ankles and broken bones, and says the pain threshold of dancers is probably the highest of all other athletes.”, the article informs us.
