Musical massage sessions are designed for children aged up to 15 months. We apply the basic massage strokes from calmer stories and weave these techniques into stories, rhymes and play. Basic massage moves are carried out by parents or carers over clothing to the child. The sessions are designed to be a natural extension to the baby massage course, encouraging the continuation of nurturing, loving touch whilst encouraging speech development with songs, rhymes and stories with repetitive elements. Completion of the baby massage course is not necessary to access Musical Massage.
Children will have the opportunity to explore a variety of musical instruments and sensory experiences during the weekly hour long sessions. The massage strokes gradually build so that parent and carers can administer massage at home as part of the daily routine to regulate and relax their child.
