What are the Benefits of Massage for Children?

Children Massage Benefits

Touch therapy has been around for years. In various cultures, it is the natural order where the newborn child is given a daily dose of massage therapy. It helps by establishing a connection between mother and child (if the mother administers the massage) ensuring a loving relationship between the two. Let us look at the long-term benefits of massage for children as a whole.

Infant Stage

At the initial stage, a baby may not be happy with a stranger providing her/him with any formula related to massage. But with the right set of hands and by a licensed massage therapist the child will feel the therapeutic effect. By starting with the hands and feet and concentrating on the fingers and the toes may bring on the giggles with kids and adults alike. Nevertheless, the child will relax and never feel any discomfort. However, at the start of any session, the therapist may advise that a parent is present during the session to ensure that trust is established.

Oils and Cream

The right set of oils and herbs can change the scene amazingly well. Basically, from a child’s point of view, if the session goes on for over have or three-quarters of an hour, s/he may not respond favorably. Chances of the little one falling asleep denote that s/he has relaxed. Any stress or worry fades away leaving the professional weave her magic and release happy pheromones.

Breaking Barriers

Anxiety is not necessarily a problem faced by the older crowd. In fact, children are known to break into a sweat quite often with their study patterns, the workload and trying to get their credits in order. At the Lymphatic Drainage Massage Clinic, the therapist gets down to the root and works out a method to help the girl/boy break away from stress by adopting simple processes to release knots in the body. When the mind is freed from the negative energy, the body automatically relaxes and this is possible only with someone who knows how to massage away worry and tension.

Various Ailments

Children suffering from a host of illnesses like ADHD, bipolar disorder, hormonal imbalances, weight gain or loss, skin woes, are treated with care. The objective is to handle the situation with aplomb and ensure that the child does not feel self-conscious because s/he is different. Massage therapy in this context also works as a counseling session of sorts where the medium is that the child feels a sense of peace with a non-judgmental person.
