Infant And Child Massage

Over the years I’ve had many children as clients, different ages, different conditions and injuries. The one common problem with arranging a massage therapist to treat your little one, is, as most parents know the younger they are the harder they are to keep still, so booking a one hour session isn’t really an option.

Neuro massage can be extremely beneficial for a infant or child with disabilities such as cerebral palsy.

As beneficial as a massage can be for a child especially when they have a disability, it can be very challenging, keeping them still long enough to receive the benefits of the massage. I found the best way around this is teaching parents to massage their own child.

Instead of having a massage therapist visiting you and your child regularly and spending an hour massaging them, what often works best is giving mum, dad or the caregiver the tools to provide this service themselves.

How Often Should You Massage Your Child?

Incorporating weekly massage or when possible, daily massage into your routine can be very beneficial for both the parents/caregivers and the child.

I often advise people to massage their child as part of their bedtime routine; after bath when their muscles are nice, warm, and relaxed. When the muscles are warm and they’re easier to relax further with massage, this helps to reduce spasms and tone. As with us adults massage can help with aiding relaxation and helping your child sleep.
