Baby Massage in Clapham SW4

Welcome to Vic's Baby Massage where you will learn massage strokes to encourage your baby's strength, growth and development.

What The Course Offers

  • A demonstration of all massage strokes and mobility exercises and the chance to practice in a class based environment
  • Each week as we go through different parts of the baby's body you'll learn
    new strokes and have the chance to revise old ones
  • Time for refreshments also makes space for any discussion and questions
  • A holistic approach throughout to help you tailor make your massage to suit
    your baby's needs

    It is also the chance for you to learn a massage technique during your baby's early months which helps with confidence of touch, supports the bonding process between you both and offers relaxation and breathing techniques for you and your baby.

    Who is it suitable for

    Premature babies and under 8/10 weeks -
    some of the mobilisation strokes may not be advisable at this stage, more attention on strokes to encourage relaxation, confidence of touch and moving towards gaining strength.

    8/10 weeks plus -
    a good time to incorporate mobilisation of joints and stretches for strength and stamina to help with sitting, crawling and standing
