Research conducted through the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami School of Medicine confirms the importance of a secure environment and nurturing touch in the healthy growth, development and maturation of children.

In newborns the visual and auditory receptors are not sufficiently developed, so they perceive the surrounding world rather through touch. Also massage and special exercises (passive gymnastics) have the same functions for babies as regular sport for adults.

Gymnastics the formation of the necessary skills for baby movemen.
Infants need gymnastics in order for them to be more agile, coordinated and strong in his games and other independent activities. We will not affect the child at the time of his games, directing and teaching him movements while he is absorbed in his activities. We will do it indirectly, through special complexes of gymnastic exercises. Only to reflect in the child automatic performance of the basic vital movements, to strengthen its muscular framework by gymnastics, it is possible to speak about harmonious physical development .
 At a very early age, the child needs to begin to form the most basic stereotypes of movements. For instance, one of the first such movements is a coup from the back to the stomach. The child is being taught this movement at the age of about three months. This skill is needed to prevent various forms of curvature of the spine in case of improper movement during a back-to-back flip. Further, at the age of about six months, the child begins to develop the skill of crawling correctly on all fours. His arms and legs should develop evenly, with the same amount of employment.
Next, at the age of about twelve months, the child is being taught how to walk properly, in order to his posture formed correctly and that the shape of the legs was also correct. If the walking skill forms correctly, it will be a wonderful kind of sports load for a child in his adult life. This is what we call children development. In conclusion, this is how the development of motor patterns happens in infants life. They are begun to lay them at a very young age, doing gymnastics and massage with the child. After that, the child will improve himself, using sports equipment or simulators, will continue to improve and develop dynamic skills, and add other, more complex, requiring the availability is already basic

For newborns without special needs and contraindications I elaborate a personal course of physical development and general health improvement and strengthening.
