The masseur, from Kazakhstan, even spins the baby around by his head.

Larissa Orynbasarovna was filmed performing the "treatment" earlier this year. The 35-year-old claims the frightening massage is healing for babies.

But experts in the UK have warned the baby boy is at risk of dislocating bones - and in the worst case damaging to his spinal cord.

Stuart Korth, of the Foundation of Paediatric Osteopathy, told The Sun: "This is a very concerning video. Some of the movements are acceptable but the more extreme ones risk dislocating his shoulders, or worst case causing damage to his spinal cord."

He added: "The force that is being put on his neck could damage the spinal cord, that would be catastrophic.

"Parents must avoid these movements altogether.

"They must keep their babies moving, but common sense tells us this is too far.

"Gentle swinging is fine, but only when a baby's neck and shoulders are properly supported."

Larissa, who has been working as a professional certified masseur for 11 years, and even trains students, said she loves helping kids.

"I help children," she said. "I've worked with so many babies over the years, many with disabilities like neck curl or crooked feet.

"My massage heals them."

The massage sees a baby tossed and twisted around for ten to fifteen minutes.

Larissa’s extreme practice has become popular in Kazakhstan and parents pay ‘professionals’ 3000 KZT (around £7 GBP) for the treatment.

The one-minute video begins by showing Larissa holding the tiny baby – who is only wearing a nappy – by the legs and swinging him from side to side.

She then tosses the infant so he is sitting upright before suddenly flipping the child over.

Larissa then dangles the child around by just the arms and proceeds to vigorously bounce the infant up and down.

Larissa then swings the baby with only its right arm and then tosses the child around so she is just dangling him by the right leg.

In one bizarre moment in the video, she then flips the child over again and makes the red-faced baby do a wave to the camera.

However, Larissa then returns to work on the child and starts swinging him around by the arms. She then rests the baby on her knee and shockingly grabs him by the head.

Larissa swings the baby by his head for several seconds and then squeezes his face and head upwards. The baby seems to grimace in discomfort before the video cuts.

The video, which was posted online, has sparked outrage amongst social media users.

Danielle Marie said: “You’re not supposed to handle a baby like that… You don’t dangle and toss them around like that… their bones are still growing and are fragile”.

Meanwhile Kingsley Daniels added: “That’s torture the way I see it… The baby’s bones are no strong yet for God sakes [sic] and yet she’s dangling him that way.

And Ana Cucicea called it “the silliest thing ever done to a baby!”.
