The aim of this course is to enable therapists to instruct their clients in infant massage techniques - also known as baby massage. Successful completion will allow you to teach mums, dads or carers how to safely massage their babies on a one to one or to run small groups by demonstrating the techniques on an Infant Massage doll. This is a great addition to your therapy repertoire as it is both deeply rewarding and far less strain on your body.
We will cover:
contraindications
Benefits of Infant Massage
Massage techniques both basic and advanced
Specific techniques to aid ailments such as colic
We will discuss massage and children with disabilities
Students will be required to complete two case studies under your tutors guidance between day 1 and day 2, it is anticipated that this will take between 5-6 hours of your time. In addition to therapists, this course has been much sought after by midwives and health visitors. You will need a baby-size doll or The Infant Massage doll too attend - please contact us for massage doll suppliers details.
