Baby Spa Australia is an exceptionally unique experience, offering hydrotherapy and infant massage for babies aged from two days to eight months. While hydrotherapy for infants has been around globally for over fifteen years, it is a new concept in Australia – one that we are passionate about sharing!
Hydrotherapy for infants began as a way to bridge the gap between the womb and a baby’s first swimming lesson, we have since found many incredible benefits. These include:
- Strengthened bones and muscles
- Promotion of sleep
- Relief from colic, wind and reflux
- Strengthened tummy time, rolling and crawling
- Helps aid digestion
- Water association
- Improves social skills
Hydrotherapy at Baby Spa Australia is performed using our DROPLETTM flotation device which comfortably supports baby in the water. This allows them to move independently for the very first time. A first session is usually between 10 to 15 minutes, but may increase to 30 minutes with regular attendance.
After their hydrotherapy session, your baby will enjoy a gentle massage with our organic cold pressed grapeseed oil. Our therapists are trained to gently massage you baby and as they develop their sensory threshold will increase.
It is common for babies to sleep between two and five hours after a session, based on feedback we have received from our clients. We also found that it can be a very powerful bonding experience.
