Developmental Baby
Massage techniques encourage and consolidate the baby through the natural steps
and stages of their development.
This unique form of
Baby Massage introduces a whole new level of confidence and relaxation in child
/ parent relationships.
'Developmental Baby
Massage' techniques provide a unique range of benefits that open new dimensions
in childcare.
The combination of
massage and movement enables parents to assess the health and integrity of the
baby's major joints,during a most formative period of child development, when
the emphasis is on flexibility.
Once the babys begins
lifting and carrying their ever increasing bodyweight through space, they
become 'weight lifters' and are then able to strengthen flexible healthy
joints.
This combination of
massage and movement presents the best possible means to assist a baby stand on
their own two feet with good posture and a wide range of versatile movement.
These techniques
relax the tummy to deepen the baby’s breathing rhythm and promote overall
relaxation and aid digestion.
Improving the quality
of touch between parent and child is a wonderful skill to develop and this is
the best possible way to do it.
Developmental Baby
Massage is the simplest and most effective way for parents to encourage their
child's growth and development.
These techniques can
be highly effective in the early 'treatment' of developmental delay, birth
trauma and early infant anxiety.
As a practising
paediatrician I see a large number of babies and parents who have 'lost touch'
with each other's needs and resources. Baby massage re-establishes that contact
and may affect a cure where conventional treatment has nothing or little to
offer."

"Being held
touched and caressed is like food to the baby, food as necessary as minerals
