Our Diverse Pediatric Massage Therapies

At Hands of Healing Touch, we offer specialized kids' massages like Relaxation Massage for stress relief, Sports Massage for young athletes, Growth and Development Massage for growing pains, and Restorative Massage for injury recovery. Our services are tailored to your child's needs.

  • Relaxation Massage for Kids

    Just like adults, children can also be subject to stress and anxiety. Our Relaxation Massage for Kids is designed to soothe the nervous system, promoting a sense of calm and peace. The gentle pressure and rhythmic strokes can help decrease stress hormones, improve sleep, and boost mood. This massage is perfect for kids who need a little help unwinding or those dealing with anxiety or sleep issues.


  • Sports Massage for Young Athletes

    For young athletes, we offer a specialized Sports Massage tailored to their specific needs. This type of massage focuses on areas of the body that are overused and stressed from repetitive and often aggressive movements. It's designed to promote flexibility, reduce fatigue, improve endurance, prevent injuries and prepare their body and mind for optimal performance.


  • Growth and Development Massage

    Growing pains are real, and our Growth and Development Massage aims to ease this discomfort. This massage is geared towards children experiencing the aches and pains associated with growth spurts or developmental changes. Gentle yet effective techniques are used to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation and promote healthy growth. 

  • Restorative Massage for Injury Recovery

    Children can get injured too, and our Restorative Massage is designed to aid in their recovery. Whether it's a sports injury, a playground mishap, or an accident, this massage focuses on the affected area to promote healing. It helps reduce inflammation, increase blood flow, and accelerate the healing process while also minimizing discomfort and stiffness.

The Perks of Child-friendly Massage

Massage for Kids offers unique benefits like promoting healthy growth, improving sleep quality, enhancing concentration, boosting immunity, and relieving stress and anxiety. These beneficial effects contribute to a child's overall wellbeing, making massage a valuable addition to their health routine.

  • Promotes Healthy Growth

    One of the unique benefits of Massage for Kids is its role in promoting healthy growth. Regular massages can help stimulate the body's circulatory and lymphatic systems, aiding in the distribution of nutrients and the removal of waste products from the body. This results in healthier growth and development, making massage a beneficial addition to your child's wellness routine.


  • Improves Sleep Quality

    Many children struggle with sleep issues, and massage can offer a natural solution. The calming effect of massage helps to prepare the body for sleep, improving sleep quality and duration. Regular massages can assist in establishing healthy sleep patterns, contributing to overall physical health and emotional wellbeing.

  • Enhances Concentration and Learning Abilities

    Massage has been shown to increase levels of focus and attention, critical factors in learning and academic performance. By reducing stress and increasing relaxation, massage can help clear the mind and improve concentration. Regular massage sessions could be a valuable tool for children who struggle with attention-related challenges.

  • Boosts Immunity

    Regular massages can contribute to a stronger immune system by stimulating lymph flow—the body's natural defense system. By enhancing the circulation of lymphatic fluid, massage can help to boost the immune response, making your child less susceptible to illnesses.

  • Relieves Stress and Anxiety

    Even children can experience stress and anxiety, and massage can offer them relief. The soothing strokes of massage release endorphins, the body's natural 'feel-good' hormones. This can lead to reduced anxiety levels and an improved mood, helping your child to better manage the stresses of growing up.

FAQs

  • At what age can my child start receiving massages?

    Massage can be beneficial for children of all ages. For infants, gentle massage techniques can be used to promote relaxation, relieve colic, and enhance bonding between parents and baby. As children grow, the massage can be adapted to address their specific needs such as sports injuries, stress, or growing pains. The key is to ensure that the massage is age-appropriate and performed by a trained therapist who specializes in pediatric massage. As with any new therapy, it's always a good idea to consult your child's pediatrician before starting massage therapy.


  • How long are the massage sessions for kids?

    The length of the massage sessions for kids can vary depending on the child's age, comfort level, and specific needs. For younger children, we often recommend starting with shorter sessions, perhaps 15 to 30 minutes, and then gradually increase the duration if your child responds well to the treatment. For teenagers, a typical massage session can last up to an hour. Our therapists always work to ensure that the session is comfortable and beneficial for your child.


  • Are there any conditions where massage therapy should be avoided for my child?

    While massage therapy can offer various benefits, there are certain circumstances where it might not be recommended. These could include skin infections, recent injuries, certain heart conditions, and other specific medical concerns. If your child has a medical condition, it's essential to discuss this with your healthcare provider and our massage therapists before starting any massage therapy.
