A baby boy who suffered from a condition known as spermatic cord hydrocele has had to live with abnormal swellings around his testicles since he was three months old.
But just before the boy was wheeled into the operation theatre, his mother took the advice of traditional Chinese medicine physician Tan Kiat Hwee and sent him for Chinese paediatric massage sessions
The boy was eventually spared the knife as he recovered fully after five months of massage.
The healing touch of Chinese paediatric massage has also helped children who suffer from other symptoms including fever, persistent cough, constipation, wry neck and many others.
Parents like Madam Eileen Yap also believe that Chinese paediatric massage has given her 11-year-old daughter a head start academically.
