NeoBellyBand TM
NeoBellyBand was created by Ginny to support abdominal wall integrity, particularly in the realm of neonatal and infant abdominal support. Since publishing the article linked above, clinical cases were presented at NANT in 2023, revealing three types of therapists: those already engaged in abdominal wall treatment, those eager to begin, and those seeking to study it further. Some practitioners were utilizing suboptimal materials for abdominal wall support and expressed a desire to access the recommended belly band discussed. Others sought the rationale and clinical tools necessary for productive discussions with their teams regarding implementation. Additionally, some were interested in participating in further neonatal therapy research. The primary goal of this site is to share valuable information in a collaborative forum. For access to the NeoBellyBand, please visit the product link at the top of this page.
