Benefits of Massage Therapy for Kids, Youth, and Babies
Many children struggle with anxiety, depression, insecurity and trauma that can have a systemic effect on their bodies. Having a safe place with a parent and professional who respect and reinforce healthy boundaries and nurturing touch can allow a child to relinquish their defence mechanisms and allow their digestion, sleep and breathing to return to normal.
Baby, Teen and Kids Massage Therapy
Safety, trust and comfort are very important with any massage therapy session (especially pediatric massage therapy). Children feel much more comfortable the first time they visit the office, knowing that they can remain completely clothed during the session. I emphasize from the very first meeting with children that they are in charge of their bodies, explaining they get to determine what areas of the body I am allowed to touch, and that they can control the amount of pressure used. This tends to decrease the anxiety of the child for the first treatment.
