Massage for children offers a variety of health benefits. Massage is beneficial at any age but because children are still developing it can be especially helpful for them if they are experiencing aches and pains, tight muscles or have sustained an injury.
What is child massage?
Your therapist will use their knowledge and training to administer gentle techniques to release tight muscles or treat soft tissue injuries to help your child become pain free again. To be eligible for a child massage you must be 14 years and under and accompanied by an adult or guardian during the treatment. Appointments are 20 minutes in length. If you require a longer appointment time for your child please contact us to arrange your booking. At all times your therapist will be focused on your child's comfort and sense of security. No one wants it to be an unpleasant experience!
