๐ง๐ฆ๐โโ๏ธ Ever considered Massage Therapy for your little ones? It's more beneficial than you might think!
Historically, infant and child massage has been a longstanding tradition in many cultures. In India, for instance, it's common for babies and children to receive daily massages for the first few years of life.
Fast forward to today, and massage for kids aged 7-12 years isn't just about making them feel good - it also has some impressive health benefits:
1๏ธโฃ Improves Sleep: Massage can help regulate sleep patterns, leading to better and deeper sleep.
2๏ธโฃ Reduces Anxiety & Stress: Yes, even kids experience stress! Massage can be a tool to help them relax and manage anxiety.
3๏ธโฃ Enhances Focus & Attention: Regular massage can improve concentration in school by promoting relaxation and mental clarity.
Just like with adults, the process involves the use of hands-on techniques to promote relaxation and well-being. The therapist uses gentle pressure and smooth movements, often tailored to the child's comfort and needs.
However, there are certain considerations. Children should always give consent before a massage, and a parent or guardian should be present during the session. The therapist should be specifically trained in pediatric massage, and the session should be shorter than an adult's massage, typically 10-30 minutes depending on the child's age, comfort, and needs.
