By having regular massages for your children you are teaching them to put their bodies first and develop self-care practices that can extend into their adult life. Treating children continues to be my favourite treatments as I witness their body's grow strong and develop healthy habits.
Regular massage has so many benefits for children:
-
decreasing anxiety and increasing calmness
-
decreasing tone from activity
-
encourage discussion about their body's well being
Bones can get misaligned and muscles stained when children injur themselves. Luckily, it doesn’t take much to get a child's body back on track.
** Please Note:
-
Most children can handle a 30 minute massage for their first time. We work up to full massages as they become more relaxed and familiar with treatment.
-
Bring shorts and a tank top for the child. (I’ve recently had a 4 year old lay still for 45min and enjoy the whole experience).
