Whether it’s a heavy backpack, sports, slouching, or normal everyday stress, it takes a toll on your child’s body and mind. Massage is a great way to help your child, age 4 - 13, build healthy lifestyle habits at a young age.
How can Massage Benefit your Child?
Massage is very beneficial for all ages, including kids. It can help…
- improve sleep
- promote growth and development
- decrease musculoskeletal pain and increase healing
- increase body awareness and neurological development
- decrease cortisol levels (the stress hormone)
- boost the immune system
Furthermore, making massage a routine in your child’s life can help them to grow into a balanced and healthy adult.
What to Expect During a Treatment
A kid's therapeutic treatment is 30-45 minutes long. In this time, an initial consultation is done which includes a review of the health history form, any range of motion or orthopedic testing necessary, and consent to treat. The therapeutic massage will address any concerns that you may have with your child. It is recommended that a parent or guardian remains in the room or in our waiting area for the duration of the treatment. After the massage, home care recommendations are provided based on your child’s needs.
