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."
