Kinesio taping and other treatment methods in the Moscow region

---

Neonatologist Maxim Novikov from the Vidnoe Perinatal Center held a master class on Kinesio taping in the rehabilitation of infants.

"This is quite a new, interesting technique, which allows to correct quite a lot of conditions and diseases of children by such a non-invasive, easy-to-use method, - said Maxim Novikov. - These are umbilical hernias, divergence of the white line of the abdomen, incorrect foot positions, in particular, clubfoot or flat feet. There are not many hospitals where Kinesio taping is used, but our center has it".

Ekaterina Klimova showed how to use Kinesio taping when recovering from pregnancy. The regional perinatal center in Balashikha, where she works, is one of the few where this technology is introduced and actively used.

The visitors were particularly interested in the newborn care area. Both adults and children were able to try to swaddle a baby doll correctly under the guidance of neonatologists.

Little guests of the stand tried on the roles of a doctor and a nurse. Veronika came to the exposition from Ivanteevka near Moscow, she is 9 years old.

"I got interested and decided to take part. I really enjoyed treating. I gave injections, listened to the heart, looked at and treated the throat. I also took temperatures. I guess I would like to become a doctor when I grow up," Veronika said.

There were also sessions with a speech therapist on speech development in young children and a workshop on art therapy, which is conducted at mothers' schools for pregnant women at maternity hospitals near Moscow. In the process of art therapy, the expectant mother can express her emotions and feelings through creativity, which helps her better understand herself, realize her new status, and relax.
